This is good if the locate db is update to date. find is also useful.
If installed via rpm, use the rpm tools:
[hal@feenix hal]$ rpm -ql telnet
/etc/X11/applnk/Internet/telnet.desktop
/etc/X11/wmconfig/telnet
/usr/bin/telnet
/usr/man/man1/telnet.1
/usr/man/man5/issue.net.5
/usr/man/man8/in.telnetd.8
/usr/man/man8/telnetd.8
/usr/sbin/in.telnetd
You can also query the package itself:
rpm -qpl /path/to/rpm/telnet-0.10-31.rpm
Note the 'p' in the latter. You might want to pipe this thru less with
larger packages. Or use grep if you an inkling of what you are looking
for.
