I'm not working with puppet and curios - does puppet snapshots entire 
filesystem and reverts back or does it snapshot configs only?

If you do kernel upgrade via yum while bypassing spacewalk (since host is 
locked) - puppet will roll back the change?

There is a puppet and yum plugin I saw posted under yum plugin repo - I'm not 
certain what it does - but take a look - maybe it will help resolve your issue.

This is starting to sound like a problem for something like Puppet.

User changes system, Puppet puts it back the way it was a few minutes later.

Takes some getting used to, but I hear from folks using it that it's very nice 
to know every machine exactly matches the Puppet config . . . or it's about to 
be put back there!

It would be interesting to see Spacewalk/Puppet integration if someone were 
inclined to do that someday.

(Apologies in advance for whatever garbage in my "signature" you see below this 
line -- it's added at the Exchange server and I have no control over it.  Makes 
most mailing list participants roll their eyes.)
