Another thing you can do,
it takes a long time, but it does work.
write a script that does the following
as root, I am not testing these commands,
so you might want to think about the gist of
it and then rewrite it yourself.
mkdir /tmp/FILES
find / -type f > /tmp/FILES/filelist
cd /tmp/FILES
split --lines=50 filelist
rm filelist
for FILEBATCH in `find . -type f`
do
for AFILE in `cat $FILEBATCH`
do
rpm -qf $AFILE | grep -v "is not owned by any package" >>
/tmp/FILES/not-owned-list.txt
done
done
Then when you are done you will have a list of the files that
are not owned by any RPMS.
