	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?
