xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"

However you lose the delete. So I do

xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace Delete"

So that a shift backspace gives a delete.

Slackware 3.0's xinit is setup up with this command in a file called

/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

which it invokes when X starts. Not sure about Red Hat

Hope this helps,
