Hi, Spacewalk don't know about excludes in /etc/yum.conf that's why it show servers need patching. Unfortunately there's no way to exclude packages for a spacific server on spacewalk webui. You can solve it by creating a different channel without excluded packages. E.g.: Create new repository with the same url as you currently use for downloading packages but set filters on it (exclude packages you want). Then create new channel with exactly same settings as current one but using new (filtered) repository. And subscribe servers to this new channel.
