That's a RHEL5 box from the looks of it, but from a follow-up post of yours /etc/redhat-release says it's centos. The two are mutually exclusive. Also, /etc/redhat-release is a simple text file that can be made to say anything so it's not a great source of proper identification.
What does "rpm -q centos-release" say?

Thanks for responding john,
This is what i get from the output of the command that you had asked for:
[root@sc-devld-1 etc]# rpm -q centos-release package centos-release is not installed
Also i found that there is a file named as redhat-release.bak in the /etc directory , doing a cat on it gives the following output:
[root@sc-devld-1 etc]# cat redhat-release.bak Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5 (Tikanga)
Thanks Jatin
