what is the difference between these commands? it seems they both do the
same thing.
is setfilecon deprecated and replaced with chcon?
on my fedora core3 system i have the setfilecon command but not the
chcon command. on fc4 i have the chcon command.

setfilecon is a test application that we (Red Hat) no longer ships.
chcon is the proper tool to use. It exists on FC3,
chcon should be part of coreutils.

setfilecon was a trivial example utility provided with libselinux to
demonstrate usage of its setfilecon() function. chcon is a "real"
utility patterned after chown/chmod with a richer interface and set of
functionality. chcon is included in coreutils. I don't know why you
wouldn't have it in FC3; it should be there. Red Hat stopped installing
setfilecon from libselinux as it served no purpose for end users.
