If you have the package installed, you can easily enough do "rpm -qf /bin/ping" to find out what package provides that. But, if you know you need "/usr/sbin/smbd", how do you find out what package it's in? A question many of us have had, and until now you kind of had to grep through all your package files. Try going to: http://community.tummy.com/krudlookup.cgi and typing in the name of a file you're looking for... It emulates a system with *ALL* the latest KRUD packages installed. For example, you can ask it what provides "/boot/vmlinux-2.2.17-14", and it will tell you: Package File Name On KRUD CD Package Size kernel-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm 1 6.8 MB kernel-2.2.17-14.i586.rpm 1 6.7 MB kernel-2.2.17-14.i686.rpm 1 6.7 MB Not bad for an hour's worth of hacking, eh?
