Debian/ Ubuntu (.deb):
sigurdur@??:~$ dpkg -S /bin/login
login: /bin/login

Suse/ RedHat (.rpm):
sigurdur@??:~> rpm -qf /bin/login
pwdutils-2.6.4-2.30

Gentoo ( don't have a Gentoo box, so this is just of the Internet):
"Let me know what package /netstat/ belongs to:

FreeBSD (I don't have a FreeBSD-boxen so this is also untested)
	'Tip: To find out what package a file belongs to, use
         " |pkg_add -W filename| ". '
