Mirek, I was looking at up2date client libraries, I'm bit confused as to how it functions with RHN/Spacewalk. Specifically, I'm at loss how I would make a call to get server details to see if it is locked. I dug through the libraries (which is not well documented) and could not find anything the clearly illustrates the interaction with RHN via RHN APIs.
If there is a doc you can point me too or an example - I would certainly appreciate it.
