Hmmm, should be there somewhere. I don't use the rpm, but try:

$ rpm -ql apache | grep apachectl

Sounds like you took over these machines... Since port 80 is open and this
is a 6.2 machine, might be a good time to check if it is also running
"piranha" as there is an known password exploit in one that came with 6.2.
I'd walk through the rest of the Security Advisories on RH also at least
to know where the risks and what state the machine is in.
