Description of problem: Spacewalk 1.9 introduced the possibility to configure rhncfg-client to output the diffs on config files managed by spacewalk, even is the file is not readable by everyone. The new option "display_diff = True" is needed in file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhncfg-client.conf to print the output. This works through the CLI but does not work through the WEB UI Moreover, in the latest spacewalk client rpms, the default rhncfg-client.conf file does not contain the parameter "display_diff = True". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.9 How reproducible: Manage a non world readable file through spacewalk Steps to Reproduce: 1. Manage (for example) sshd_config file (which is not world readable) by spacewalk 2. Schedule a config file comparison from the WEB UI 3. Once the comparison done, go to the result page Actual results: Message "Differences exist in a file that is not readable by all. Re-deployment of configuration file is recommended" is printed in the web UI Expected results: differences, is some exist. Additional info:
Spacewalk 2.8 (and older) has already reached it's End Of Life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against current version of Spacewalk 2.9, you are encouraged change the 'version' and re-open it.
