as an additional bit of info, CentOS is the closest you will get to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (barring some others like Scientific Linux, Whitebox, etc). Is there any particular reason you need Red Hat?

new_systemid This action is used by the RHn Backend to update the Digital
system ID of this machine with a new one.
update_packages This action will trigger rhn_check into running a package
update for a list of packages queued from the Red Hat Network.
rhn_check will use modules from the up2date client to download
the packages, solve dependencies and install the on the system.
