Do these steps on your computer. I provide my output as an example.

1) First, find out where 'service' is at.
        [root at netserv etc]# whereis service
        service: /sbin/service
2) Next we query the rpm database for the package that provided it.
        [root at netserv etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/service
        initscripts-8.11.1-1
3) Now you should be able to download the initscripts package, and 
reinstall it (try an upgrade, and if that won't work, do an install with 
the --force option)

I did steps 1 and 2 so I know they'll work, but I don't give any 
guarantees about step 3. It should point you in the right direction at 
least.

Hope I helped,
Justin Willmert
