first you find out which rpm uname comes from:
[stuart@behemoth ~]$ which uname
/bin/uname
[stuart@behemoth ~]$ rpm -qf /bin/uname
coreutils-5.2.1-31
the same approach applies to xscreensaver.

you then find the .src.rpm on one of the discs (dunno which one)

Thanks... I knew it had to be simple.... :-)

I used rpm -q xscreensaver --whatprovides
and that worked great.... but the real trick was using "which" and the whole result from that command...


That is,
	rpm -q uname --whatprovides
doesn't work, but
	rpm -q /bin/uname --whatprovides
does work
