#########RHEL4 and RHEL 5 ########################
XEN, YUM and improved SELinux
all the features updated with better options
Better GUI support then RHEL4
YUM over RPM package management
IPTables and SELinux for more secure environment
ext2 & ext3 file system
In RHEL 4 SELinux Block only 13 services, But on RHEL 5
SElinux Block 80 services
 ###############################################

Difference between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 :
1) In RHEL 4 SELinux Block only 13 services, But on RHEL 5 SElinux Block 80 services.

2) RHEL 4 have ext2 filesystem, but RHEL 5 we have ext3 filesystem that support Journal.

Logrotation in Linux/unix

Log files are the most valuable tools available for Linux system security. The logrotate program is used to provide the administrator with an up-to-date record of events taking place on the system. The logrotate utility may also be used to back up log files, so copies may be used to establish patterns for system use. logrotate the logrotate program is a log file manager. It is used to regularly cycle (or rotate) log files by removing the oldest ones from your system and creating new log files. It may be used to rotate based on the age of the file or the file’s size, and usually runs automatically through the cron utility. The logrotate program may also be used to compress log files and to configure e-mail to users when they are rotated.
