Yes, of course. If you bought the CD's, the source is certainly on
them. If not, it's somewhere on Yellowdog's ftp site in a directory
named SRPMS. It's sometimes a little difficult to figure out which
RPM contains which daemon, but in this case:
linux% rpm -q -f `which in.fingerd`
finger-server-0.16-5
linux% rpm -q -f `which identd`
pidentd-3.0.10-2
linux% rpm -q -f `which in.rlogind`
rsh-server-0.16-9
But why do you think you need to recompile them just because you're
using a 2.4.x kernel? I'm using a 2.4.1, and although I don't use
fingerd or rlogind much any more, they both still work, and identd
certainly works. I haven't recompiled any of them.
