chtab is.. special... It bypasses xcatd and goes direct.  The reason being
is that otherwise we have chicken and egg situation (if site table not
configured, can't start service, without policy table entry, can't change
policy table).

There is, however, a tabch command which should serve that purpose, but
through the API.

Subject:        [xcat-user] chtab only works for "root", not for ordinary users



The users in question are defined in our policy table, and have no problems
using "chdef", or "tabedit", for example.

                 "6.7","fennm",,,,,,"allow",,

But when running "chtab", they can't access the xcat mysql database:

drdxcatm:~$ chtab node=labcm0001 nodetype.profile="cm-dev"
DBI connect('/etc/xcat/nodetype.sqlite','',...) failed: unable to open
database file at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/Table.pm line 790
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value
at /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/Table.pm line 807.

This can be fixed by opening up read permissions on /etc/xcat/cfgloc, but
given that this contains the mysql password, it's dangerous.

Should non-root users be able to use the xcat "chtab" command?
