Have sources for commands chsh.c and chfn.c change from 2.0.4 to 3.0
version?
If so, where can I find the sources for 2.0.4 (for above commands)?
They seem to
be missing from Minix-2 archives at [url]http://www.minix-vmd.org/[/url]
Any pointers will be appreciated.

In both Minix 2 and Minix 3 the chsh and chfn commands are links
to passwd; the source file is /usr/src/commands/simple/passwd.c.
The action taken by the program depends upon the name by which
it is called.
The 2.0.4 source file is dated February 1996, which means it has
not changed since the Minix 1.7.* releases which were test
versions for the final Minix 2 release at the end of 1996. The source
file in the Minix 3.1.2a release is identical, although the file has
been touched with a May 2006 timestamp.

Did you take a look at the source of the passwd command?
(commands/simple/passwd.c)
