<div dir="ltr"><div>hi Frank,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>there is also a plugin for yum called versionlock. It locks packages to a specific version so they won't get updated. I don't know if it can be used with the rhn-plugin for yum together, you could try it though.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your question about the comparison of systems, I don't know if it's in Spacewalk (have to install a server today), but in Satellite you can compare the packages installed on one machine to another machine or to a profile. With a profile you can "synchronise" the systems to exactly the same state.</div>

<div>cheers</div>

is there a way to exclude packages from updating ?

With EL4 and up2date code:
# grep -i skip /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

using configuration channel.
