Description Xixi 2010-03-15 19:26:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Customer has environment set up such that clients boot from the media they provide and fetches the kickstart file using the url http://<satellite-fqdn>/cgi-bin/ks?hn=<client-fqdn>
This breaks in Satellite 5.3 since now "ks" seems to be a reserved file
name. Instead of fetching a kickstart file customer gets the cgi-bin script
without the carriage returns.

Per jsherill, since everything kickstart has been migrated to java now, the following <Files ks> section in httpd configuration /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz-spacewalk-www.conf is no longer be needed and should be removed -  

<Files ks>
ForceType text/pxt
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler PXT::ApacheHandler
</Files>

Customer verified this also fixed their issue.

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

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
Obsolete Apache redirective should be removed.
