howto list all non-rpm installed files on system

[Dave Burns]

Here's a bash one-liner that outputs the filename of every file on /
not part of an rpm. There may be more directories that should be
excluded or filetypes that should be included, depending on what is in
your setup and what you really want to find.

find / -type f -print|grep -v  '^/proc/' |while read file; do rpm -qf
"$file" >/dev/null || echo "$file"; done
