Here's a second shout out for UnRarx. Nice thing about this app is that if you have to unzip with a password, you can see what you type in the field. Makes things so much easier.

You cannot unzip a rar file, you can unzip a zip file, you can unrar a rar file, two different formats. try the command line command unrar, previous installation. freshmeat.net has most of them.
