How do I get yum to tell me what repo it came from? Or should I just google for the rpm name and download it from any old place?
yum list <packagename>
That will tell you all the places that package can come from.
yum list denyhosts Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, fastestmirror, priorities, security 2 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Installed Packages denyhosts.noarch 2.6-5.el5 installed
Which is the repo, he asks innocently. Or will that work only for uninstalled packages?
You will have to grep for the specific package number or look at the list. Once a package in ON YOUR MACHINE, it is also in the installed repo ...
Or only in the installed?
but you can also install packages by hand from NO repos.
If you use the command:
rpm -qi <packagename>
That will tell you if it is a CentOS package ... and you can see if it signed by a CentOS key.
rpm -qi denyhosts Name : denyhosts Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.6 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 5.el5 Build Date: Tue 19 Jun 2007 02:31:00 PM HST Install Date: Wed 10 Jun 2009 07:41:18 AM HST Build Host: xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com Group : Applications/System Source RPM: denyhosts-2.6-5.el5.src.rpm Size : 337435 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 19 Jun 2007 06:51:35 PM HST, Key ID 119cc036217521f6 Packager : Fedora Project http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla URL : http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ Summary : A script to help thwart ssh server attacks Description : DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log messages to determine which hosts are attempting to hack into your system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host and, upon discovering a repeated attack host, updates the /etc/hosts.deny file to prevent future break-in attempts from that host. Email reports can be sent to a system admin.
Hmmm.... still not seeing a repo. No doubt I could find some version of an rpm at http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/, but can I be sure it is identical to the one on the centos repos?

man rpm RTFM
See above, no repo info found in rpm -qi output.
no repo but
Vendor: Fedora Project
If (Vendor == Fedora Project) then repo is epel if (Vendor == Centos) then repo is Centos if (Vendor == Dag Apt Repository) repo is rpmforge
At least this seems to be the case for a small random sampling I did on my system (I 'cheated' -- I have a pile of RPMs sitting in their proper places under /var/cache/yum/...).
