One thing you could do is, on an rpm distributed system, do a 'rpm -qf
`which lpd`' and then look on the ftp sites for a package under SRPMS
that corresponds to the answer that command gave you.
Install that package and yo'll have the source.
Most Linux's archive whole systems together, even those that don't use
"package management" so you'd still have to know which tarball to retrieve
to get the source you need.
Otherwise, you can browse the FreeBSD sites, lots and lots of Linux code
has common ancestry with the *BSDs. lpd is pretty much stolen directly
(it's the "Berkeley printing daemon"). It might not compile directly, but
the code itself will be pertinant.
