[Yum] RPM with identical names in repos but different content

Hi,

My /etc/yum.conf points to 2 repositories, call it rep1 and rep2.  And
as luck will
have it, they each have a "authd" RPM which contains totally unrelated software.
And yum list doesn't show both.  Is there a way around it?

rep1 is actually the Redhat repository and has this RPM
  authd-1.4.2-8.i386.rpm [provided by RedHat, implementation of ident protocol]
rep2 is another repository holding RPMs for gexec and pcp, and they require
  authd-0.2.2-1.i386.rpm  [provided by http://www.theether.org/authd/]

I had a hard time installing authd-0.2.2-1.  It just won't happen,
even if I do a
  yum install authd-0.2.2-1

I finally managed to show that it doesn't even show up in list of RPMs when I do
  yum list | grep authd
Only authd-1.4.2 is listed.  But if I edit the /etc/yum.conf to
exclude the redhat
repo (repo1), and only point to repo1, yum list returns authd-0.2.

So does it mean yum is intelligent enough to remove the "older
versions" of authd
from showing up?  Is there a way to tell yum not to do that?

Just want to ask if there is any way to "disable" the authd-1.4.2 RPM,
instead of
tinkering with the yum.conf?

Regards,
Kenneth
