    In most of Linux distros, source code is not bundled with installation disks and you have to download it manually. You can download source code of selective or all commands. You have to enable src repositories in your package manager.
    Which Linux distro are you using?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    The source for the main distro packages in CentOS 5.4 is here.

    The who and ls utils are part of the coreutils package.

    For the source to the other repos (centosplus, extras, etc.), just go here and browse to the respective repo dir, and select the SRPMS/ directory.
