Try something like (in ksh, because I can, okay?):

for i in /bin /usr/bin /lib /usr/lib /etc /sbin /usr/sbin
 do
   find $i -type f -print | while read FN
                             do
                               if rpm -qf $FN >/dev/null 2>&1
                               then echo "$FN: okay" > /dev/null
                               else /bin/ls -lad "$FN"
                               fi
                             done
 done


Oh yeah... it'll be kinda slow, too.
