[olug] Getting true version of RHES

[Dave Thacker]

This is one of those things that makes me shake my head and mumble.

It appears one of our mission critical servers (runs the batch scheduler) had 
it's version manually changed in /etc/redhat-release to fool an installer for 
aforementioned scheduler program. (This happened when they had sysadmin by 
committee)  I've been told it's RHEL 5, but I'm looking for a way to verify 
the minor release number and put the proper string back in the file.  Any 
ideas?   

Yes, I'm taking away their "got root?" t-shirts........
