--scripts is helpful, the following returns a great deal of package scripts
having to do with users and groups, but ideally would return just the
package names involved in creating the user or group.
rpm -qa --scripts | egrep 'user|group|id\s|getent|pass'
rpm -qa --scripts | less does not seem to list any package names, but may
be a more formal rpm would help:
rpm --queryformat "%{FILEUSERNAME} %{TRIGGERSCRIPTS}
%{TRIGGERSCRIPTPROG}\n" --query httpd
does not return a script name and i do not see anything else in rpm
--querytags that would help.
Has to be a way, but not today.
