id.c, cat.c, and uniq.c aren't binaries so you're barking up the wrong tree. You're also assuming all the source code for id resides in id.c and so forth, which isn't necessarily true, they may have other source files in common.

You might try 'cd src ; make id'

- where to find another packages that I can compile from source ? for example passwd command ?
Just as the 'id' utility doesn't reside in id-0.78-1.fc14.i686.tar.gz, not every individual program has its own tiny individual package. I think passwd belongs to the shadow password tools.

pwconv

pwconv(1M)						  System Administration Commands						pwconv(1M)

NAME

       pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd

SYNOPSIS

       pwconv

DESCRIPTION

       The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd.

       pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is
       already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified.

       If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with  information  from  /etc/passwd.  The	command  populates
       /etc/shadow  with  the  user's  login  name,  password,	and  password  aging  information. If password aging information does not exist in
       /etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to  /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated.

       If the  /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed:

		Entries that are in the  /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file.

		Entries that are in the  /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow.

		Password attributes (for example, password and aging information)  that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the  corre-
		sponding entry in  /etc/shadow.

       The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user.

FILES

       /etc/opasswd

       /etc/oshadow
