	You can use the following command to find out what files are owned
by any given package:

rpm -ql <packagename>

	For example:

[root at mybox] [~]# rpm -ql talk-server
/usr/man/man8/in.ntalkd.8.gz
/usr/man/man8/in.talkd.8.gz
/usr/man/man8/ntalkd.8.gz
/usr/man/man8/talkd.8.gz
/usr/sbin/in.ntalkd
/usr/sbin/in.talkd

	You can also do other neat things with RPM, like:

rpm -qf /path/file

	To find out what RPM owns a file, and a lot of other neat things.  
It's well worth the time if you read up on RPM and all the neat stuff you
can do with it.  You can even use it as a lightweight 'tripwire-like'
utility if you want.

	Anyhoo...
