I've got an attitude today and I'll admit that.  I'm simply trying to
get you to properly define your problem.  Please refer to Eric Raymond's
faq at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Instead of asking the question this way, why not ask about specific
utilities that you actually need to use?  Show us the mtab and the log
of where it fails, and then perhaps we can take it from there.  Perhaps
there are comparable utilities that do work.  I'm fairly confident in
stating that if application foo is broken on the version of Red Linux
that you've downloaded or purchased and it's current, then there is no
other version available from Red Hat that it is fixed in.  The
latest compiled versions of everything are in Rawhide but this is
considered beta and application foo may not work as is on your running
version of Red Hat Linux.
