Bug 536989

Description of problem:
If you run /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite as a non-root user, you can get all kinds of messy results, for example:

-bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite status
jabberd router is stopped
Oracle Net Listener (pid 4333) is running...
Oracle DB instance rhnsat is stopped
osa-dispatcher (pid  4389) is running...
/etc/init.d/tomcat5 is already running (4918)
httpd (pid  4939) is running...
Sorry, you *must* be root to use this program
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/Monitoring line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/Monitoring line 8.
Sorry, you *must* be root to use this program
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/MonitoringScout line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/MonitoringScout line 8.
rhn-search is running (4985).
cobblerd dead but subsys locked
RHN Taskomatic is running (5033).

With the suggested patch, running the same command will produce a much cleaner result, and stop a non-root user from executing anything:

-bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite status
This script must be run as root!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. su - oracle (or any non-root user);
2. /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite status (or stop/start/restart etc)

Actual results:
Messy output, see problem description above.

Expected results:
Clean exit with message explaining it needs to be run as root.

Proposed patch from customer attached.
