Other way when checking from client side
rhncfg-client verify

It display results for user, group, permissions, selinux and file content.
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change in file's user, group and permissions

Current code for diff functionality 

   else:
            result = ''.join(diff(temp_file, path))

        os.unlink(temp_file)
        return sectx_result + result


It displays results -> content diff + selinux diff


And from cmd line:

rhncfg-client verify 

                                  /root/nerawat/nerawat2/test1
                                  /root/nerawat/nerawat2/test2
                    mode,modified /root/nerawat/test1
 user,group,mode,selinux,modified /root/nerawat/test2
                                  /root/nerawat/test3
                          selinux /root/nerawat/test4
                                  /root/test

According to current functionality only selinux check and check for links

SELinux contexts differ:  actual: [root:object_r:user_home_dir_t], expected: [user_u:role_r]


After adding diff functionality for group, user and mod:

User name differ: actual: [nerawat], expected: [root]
Group name differ: actual: [nerawat], expected: [root]
File mode differ: actual: [777], expected: [775]
