    See, the real problem wasn't rolling out an update to 100 servers. The real
    Problem was redhat releasing an untested piece of software to my satellite
    server, which then gets automatically installed whenever a new system
    kickstarts. The problem would be nullified, if inside the satellite server I
    could roll-back the rhncfg.* packages in the rhel-i386-ws-3-u4 net tools
    channel, but unfortunately, I cannot do this.
