It's controlled by the client-local.cfg file on the Hobbit server, so you
can restrict updates to either a specific host, or a group of hosts
belonging to a particular "class" (by default, the class-name of a host
is the operating-system name).

I'd suggest you have a look at the Hobbit man-pages, specifically the
clientupdate(1) man-page and client-local.cfg(5). If you haven't 
installed Hobbit yet, you can find them on the web at
