How can we see if the difference of a managed configuration file is due to a local change or a change on the Satellite server?

Issue

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.
