redhat-release examples

I have a script that checks the redhat-release file to determine what security patch needs to be applied. Since there's a Red Hat 5 now, I need a redhat-release file from the various platforms (Desktop, Enteprise Workstation, and Enterprise Server) so I can build a proper search string. Also, it looks as if Red Hat 4 is being supported in the script but not intentionally. So similar examples of Red Hat 4 redhat-release files would be good too. Just to make sure all are actually being captured.

Thanks for any submissions.
