ok. that's not the only package, there are dozens, just run:
rpm -qa --queryformat 
"%-45{VENDOR}\t%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}-SERIAL:%{SERIAL}\n"|egrep 
"Red Hat"
just to mention a few:
cpio, mktemp, tmpwatch, etc.
it'd be useful to review all the rh9 packages and compare there version 
number to the latest centos version. eg:
tcpdump-3.7.2-7.E3.2 (centos) is less then tcpdump-3.7.2-7.9.1 (rh9).
this is not a serious problem since they are probably the same, but 
wouyld be useful to be consistent.
yours.
