about yum package
 
I would like to use yum to install package , but how do I know the package name that I should use , for example , if I want to use ldapsearch , I tried "yum install ldapsearch" , it doesn't work , how can I know what package name to install , what package includes this command - "yum install packname" ?

thanks

You can use "yum provides '*/ldapsearch'" and it will search the package contents for the file ldapsearch. I suspect it will be in the openldap-clients package. (right now it seems the repositories are being updated and are in an inconsistent state...)

besides the "provides" from above

do a search
Code:
su -
yum search ldap
see the manual and help pages
Code:
su -
yum --help

-- and the manual ---

man yum
