Alright, I installed memcached on our server today using the following
link:

http://crazytoon.com/2008/01/20/memcached-how-do-you-install-memcached-centos-64-bit-linux-redhat-fedora/

Fairly sure it's running because if I run the following command:

netstat -tap | grep memcached

I get:

tcp 0 0 *:11211
*:* LISTEN 28125/memcached
tcp 0 0 *:11211
*:* LISTEN 28125/memcached

The problem is that when I go to modify /etc/memcached.conf....it's
sort of not there.

Actually, it IS there; however it's a blank document. This leads me
to believe that it's installed elsewhere. And a simple "grep
memcached" just seems to sit there.

SO, I either need to

a) uninstall this install, and then reinstall using something CentOS
can track (such as using the yum installer), OR
b) figure out where the heck the 'real' memcached.conf resides at so I
know where/how to tweak it.

Any thoughts/assistance would be appreciated.

I don't think there is a memcached.conf, unless this is a custom version. Memcached uses command line parameters.

The page you linked does not mention memcached.conf. Why do you think
you need a memcached.conf? Memcached uses command line arguments. Some
packages will use a conf file that is read by the init script. But, this
is not something that memcached looks for like MySQL's my.cnf.
