Hi,
I think you are a unix starter. You seem to miss some info. It's ok, but we might be able to help you a bit more.
Depended on what Unix/Linux version you work with applications might be on your systembox or not. Linux (especialy Red Hat) is mostly full equiped and has lots of "tools"already installed.
By typing the command (applikation) from a shell box the shell start searching internal (like commands cd, etc) and else in you PATH variable. You can see where it starts searching doing the follwoing :
echo $PATH
This will display the contents of your PATH variable, and therefor your search-path for commands. You can add commands to this using (ksh/bash/sh)
export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add
For finding a command you know it's on your system just type :
find / -name <name of program> -print
The minus print option might be optional in some OS-types. In this case you will find the executables full-patch and can start it f.e. as :
/usr/local/bin/cu <number to dial>
Also adding it to the machine search path can help :
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
cu <number to dial>

filecap
FILECAP:(8) System Administration Utilities FILECAP:(8)
NAME
filecap - a program to see capabilities
SYNOPSIS
filecap [ -a | -d | /dir | /dir/file [cap1 cap2 ...] ]
DESCRIPTION
filecap is a program that prints out a report of programs with file based capabilities. If a file is not in the report or there is no
report at all, no capabilities were found. For expedience, the default is to check only the directories in the PATH environmental variable.
If the -a command line option is given, then all directories will be checked. If a directory is passed, it will recursively check that
directory. If a path to a file is given, it will only check that file. If the path to the file includes capabilities, then they are written
to the file.
OPTIONS
-a This tells the program to show all capabilities starting from the / directory. Normally the PATH environmental variable is used to
show you capabilities on files you are likely to execute.
-d This dumps all capabilities for reference.
EXAMPLES
To check file capabilities in $PATH:
filecap
To check file capabilities of whole system:
filecap -a
To check file capabilities recursively in a directory:
filecap /usr
To check file capabilities of a specific program:
filecap /bin/passwd
To list all possible capabilities:
filecap -d
To set a file capability on a specific program:
filecap /bin/ping net_raw net_admin

pscap(8), netcap(8), capabilities(7).
