Description is the same as:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5356

I would have re-opened that if I could have, but a new bug gives the
opportunity to provide a better Summary, same as:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458014

Re the reason for closing bug 5356:
I don't see "that the "lsetxattr"
failure is caused by a fundamental change in the file system data structures
implementing extended SELinux file attributes between Linux kernels" 2.6.26 and
2.6.27, which seems the implication of the reason for closing the bug.
