Brad,
Thanks a lot. I have received the same answer from many fellows on the
list.
Correct me if I'm wrong (literally, please do), but I *thought* that the
'rpm -qf <file>' interrogated the existing rpm database? Was that
assumption wrong?
If that assumption is correct, that would imply that you have
/usr/sbin/in.identd already installed, which I didn't. (I'm not at home
right now and can't try it out myself.)
My situation was different in that I was trying to search the RH CD in
the RPMS directory to find which .rpm would install the file for me.
I have now found it, by some smart(? :-) guess work, and installed it.
But I'm still unclear how I would search all the .rpm files in the RPMS
directory on the CD to find what package would install a specific file
for me.
Regards
Gustav
