Sorry, this was incomplete.  If you don't have the RPM, but know the name, 
then you can do a
# rpm -qil talk

and it will report the same info, but from the installed package.  If you 
have a file from the package that you want to find out the package name you 
can do a

# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/in.talkd
talk-0.11-1

then you can do like above (leaving off the version info)...  'l' will list 
the files.  'i' will give the info of the rpm.  The 'p' from before is used 
to specify a package file. I don't use it and am amazed it is even 
installed on my system.  about to rebuild anyway, so...

# rpm -ql talk
/usr/bin/talk
/usr/man/man1/talk.1
/usr/man/man8/in.ntalkd.8
/usr/man/man8/in.talkd.8
/usr/man/man8/ntalkd.8
/usr/man/man8/talkd.8
/usr/sbin/in.ntalkd
/usr/sbin/in.talkd

# rpm -qi talk
