Hi,

since you don't have a RHN subscription I would suggest migrating to CentOS. See the
"Migration an existing system from RHEL5 to CentOS 5" section in
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide

The procedure appears to be quite quick and painless.

Move to centos could be a very good solution for our problem.I think Redhat version 5.4 is outdated .If you dont have subscripion go ahead with Centos 6.2 Box.Which you can have support for 7 years

As per the excellent advice above, DON'T try to fool around with prod servers like that.
You have 3 reasonable options

1. get RHN subscription
2. switch over to Centos
3. leave it alone
