Because some packages have mixed case names, I often use something like this: rpm -qa | grep -i ssh That would find, for example, a package named SSH-2.3.0-s390 as well as one with the lower case ssh in its name. There are quite a few packages on Linux that use mixed case names, so lower case isn't always a valid assumption. And the common name of the program isn't always the same case as the package name. (For example, CUPS and SSH have package names containing "cups" and "ssh".) Scott -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.
