Other folks have pointed you to the general (mostly excellent)
documentation, but you asked for specifics, so...

I don't believe yum has an equivalent behavior to this.  I think the
closest would be 'yum deplist foobar'

yum -y --exclude='kernel*' update

Yum doesn't exclude the kernel and modules from updates like up2date.
If you really want this behavior, you can run the command above.  You
could also try adding:

exclude=kernel*

to the "[main]" section in your /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
file; I'm not sure if that would work or not, but I'd guess it would.

> up2date -uf

yum -y update

Much easier when you don't want to exclude anything. :)

Good luck!
