[CLUE-Tech] redhat nmap?

[Mike Merideth]

FYI, you can determine the package that owns a given command on a RedHat (or
other rpm-based) system by executing the following:

rpm -qf `which command`

Where "command" is the name of the command you're looking at.  In your
example, it would be:

rpm -qf `which nmap`

The "rpm -qf" part is an rpm command to show the package ownership of a
given path name.  the "`which nmap`" (note the backticks) part feeds the rpm
command the full pathname to the command.  You can also use the syntax:

rpm -qf /usr/bin/nmap

for example if you know the full path to the file you're querying about; the
"which" bit is just handy if you don't know offhand where a command lives.
Note that you can use "rpm -qf" for any type of file or directory, but
"which" only works for executable commands.

At least this is the case on my RH7.3 machine. RH, to my knowledge,
doesn't package these apps you have to download them from the
insecure.org website. I'm sure they have a newer version out.

Hope that helps you.
