The source to the passwd program distributed in the MCC interim version of
Linux can be found in mcc-interim/0.96c/source_files/misc.tar.Z, which is
in /pub/linux at ftp.mcc.ac.uk, in /pub/Linux/mirrors/uk.mirror at
banjo.concert.net, and somewhere on tsx-11.mit.edu as well. This program
was written by R. E. Wolff.

The ps command is in ps096b.tar.Z, which can be found on most sites; at
MCC it is in /pub/linux/misc. The kill command is a bash internal
command, and there is an executable as well: the one distributed as part
of the MCC interim version of Linux can be found in the misc.tar.Z file
described above.
