passwd source code?

I am interested in doing some research on the "passwd" source code that runs on the linux platform. I have Gentoo running here, but have no idea where to locate the passwd source code? Is it a part of some larger package? Thanks in advance...

Use 'qpkg -f passwd' for getting package name.

This does nothing!

--snip--
bash-2.05b# qpkg -f passwd
bash-2.05b#
--snip--

Running Gentoo from stage1 install kernel 2.6.5...
