Reading man xmodmap...

One of the more irritating differences between keyboards
is the location of the Control and Shift Lock keys. A
common use of xmodmap is to swap these two keys as fol�
lows:
!
! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
!
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

For RH, put this content in, say, $HOME/.Xmodmap, and when you log in it
should pick it up...

For the console, I think loadkeys is what you want. Indeed, man keymaps
has an example too. Try looking at the keytable script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable (or /etc/init.d/keytable),
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard, and the manpages for loadkeys and keymaps.
