[Spacewalk-list] how to block yum usage on client systems

This is starting to sound like a problem for something like Puppet.

User changes system, Puppet puts it back the way it was a few minutes
later.

Takes some getting used to, but I hear from folks using it that it's very
nice to know every machine exactly matches the Puppet config . . . or it's
about to be put back there!

It would be interesting to see Spacewalk/Puppet integration if someone
were inclined to do that someday.

(Apologies in advance for whatever garbage in my "signature" you see below
this line -- it's added at the Exchange server and I have no control over
it.  Makes most mailing list participants roll their eyes.)
