Utility (or command) to see what processes have a file open

Hi. I am searching for a utility (or a command) that I can run on a file that will tell what processes have the file open. I think my distro is RedHat 4.2, but I'm not even sure of that. I'm new to Unix/Linux. Thanks in advance!

Also,

uname -a

cat /etc/redhat-release
