If you want the sources for linux, I would either go to the Debian or
slackware source directories and get them there. With debian, you can
search to see what package has that file (dpkg -S lpd) and then grab the
orignal source tar of it. With slackware, it's probably named something
similiar.
Or, you may want to check out the OpenBSD or 4.4 BSD source or
something similiar. They are lay their source trees out exactly how the
system is laid out, so src/bin/ls has ls.c. So it is relatively easy to
find things. The cs machines have some old bsd source trees laying
around.
