I installed Fedora 16 last night and saw it had NoMachine's NX in the repo. I did a
yum install nx
and it says it installed correctly, but for the life of me I can't find the .service or /etc/init.d file(s) or even the /etc configuration files for any sort of NX server. I do see
nxssh
nxproxy
nxagent
but there aren't even man entries for them.
To be able to figure out what it's done, what I'd like to do is see exactly what files and where it put them.
I've looked and looked-- is there a command I can invoke, either yum or rpm that tells me the files contained in an already-installed RPM? Something like how
rpm -qpl <some rpm>.rpm
lists the files (with directories) packaged in an RPM.
Thanks!

Most files pertaining to RPM are kept in the /var/lib/rpm/ directory. For more information on RPM, refer to the chapter Chapter 10, Package Management with RPM. The /var/cache/yum/ directory contains files used by the Package Updater, including RPM header information for the system.
RPM is autonomous and utilizes its own database to keep information about the packages on the system. YUM is a front-end utility that uses the RPM package manager for package management. The utility also uses the RPM database in the backend. RPM package management and handling gets complicated at times.
Use the --filesbypkg argument for rpm.
rpm -qi --filesbypkg nx
