Is there a way to find package names using some other rpm switch when

linux:~ # rpm -qf /etc/sysconfig/security
file /etc/sysconfig/security is not owned by any package

Files in the /etc/sysconfig directory are a special case. Try:

rpm -qf /var/adm/fillup-templates/sysconfig.security

...
I have made changes in the /etc/sysconfig /security file

Didn't you make a backup? ;)

but nothing shows here  ,how do i know which rpm it belongs to , it came
with the install,

It is typical (and confusing) for files that are created /during/
installation.

I did not create it.

rpm did.
