RHEL 4 uses up2date by default. Why don't you use that?

thx reply ,

up2date is not a tool to update ALL package by one time ? if I want to update a specific package what can i do ? thx

Up2date functions similarly to yum. Try reading "man up2date".

You are aware that you need a paid subscription to access RH's repos?
