No, it is not. It is a similar clone built from the same source RPMs but 
on a different build system with no real knowledge of how the RHEL RPMs 
are built.

I've seen way too many weird little glitches between CentOS and RHEL to 
buy the "it's 100% compatible" line again, sorry.

If you want RHEL, buy RHEL. If you want a clone, use a clone. But don't 
fool yourself into thinking they are exactly the same. They're not.
