Currently when launching "rhncfg-client diff" it is not possible
to figure out if the difference is due to a change on the server or
on the client. This could be done via the /XMLRPC API (for example via
configchannel.lookupFileInfo and looking at the 'modified' field) or
via "rhncfg-manager diff", but both require adequate satellite credentials
which in certain environments are not always available to the people
needing this information.
Try and set the mtime and ctime of the temporary file created so that
the "rhncfg-client diff" command shows the server last changed
time-stamp. For example, with file "/etc/a" changed on server on
Fri Feb 28 18:47:31, we will have:
- Before the change
--- /etc/a Fri Feb 28 19:02:41 2014 (time of diff execution)
+++ /etc/a Fri Feb 28 17:03:55 2014 (time of local last change)

Tested this on RHEL 5.10 and RHEL 6.5 clients (on both satellite
5.5/oracle and 5.6/postgres backed instances). RHEL 4 systems
will retain previous behaviour as dateutil.parser is not present
on those systems (python 2.3). Using a simple approach with
dateutil.parser in favour of handparsing the dates, as satellites
with Oracle DB's will return datetime in iso 8601 format
(20130304T23:19:17) whereas postgresql backed instances will
return dates in the following format: 2014-02-28 18:47:31.506953+01:00.
