How to find corresponding rpm package

If I know service or software already, How I know which rpm package contains it?
For example inetd belongs to the netkit-base***rpm
xinetd belongs to xinetd***rp

Code:

$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/xinetd

xinetd-2.3.13-4

Thanks alot for your hints
but if my /etc/init.d/xinetd file even doesnot exist.
How do I find corrpesonding rpm package?

Here's a few more commands.

Code:

# find the exact name of the xinetd package

$ rpm -qa | grep xinetd

xinetd-2.3.13-4



# note the following is verify, if it returns nothing then

# it verifyied ok, if it prints an error then a file may have been deleted

$ rpm -V xinetd-2.3.13-4



# list the contents of the package

$ rpm -ql xinetd-2.3.13-4

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd

... rest of the listing not shown ...

So the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd is the file from the package that somehow was deleted on your system?
