Come now, this is Linux. We design systems to deliberately allow dangerous
functionality and when you get bit by our unsafe designs, we laugh and
point at you and cluck our tongues at your noob misfortune. /sarc
rhn-actions-control --disable-deploy
is the closest thing but it doesn't stop anything but the SCHEDULED
deployment of files which is a different animal. 'rhncfg-client' should be
handled with extreme care, much like glicerin and 'rm -fr'.
