  I believe what you're referring to is the "COPS" package.

  Versions of it were posted to comp.sources.unix and alt.sources, and are
therefore available at any sites that archive those newsgroups (e.g. 
uunet.uu.net or wuarchive.wustl.edu).  Furthermore, here are a few ftp sites
that have it available:

	Host				File
	-------------------------------	----------------------------
	arthur.cs.purdue.edu		/pub/COPS/cops.tar
	gumby.dsd.trw.com		/pub/security/cops.102.tar.Z
	nuri.inria.fr			/system/cops-1.02.tar.Z
	svin02.info.win.tue.nl		/system/cops1.02.tar.Z
	flop.informatik.tu-muenchen.de	/pub/cops.102.tar.Z

(I found these sites by telnet'ing to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca as archie (no
password) and typing "set search sub", "set sortby time" and then "prog cops".
If you don't telnet access, you can send mail to archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca to
make queries, e.g. with mail body "prog cops".  Of course, if you don't know
the name of the package you're looking for, this doesn't help you much. :-)

  If you don't have anonymous ftp access, you can get to the anonymous ftp
servers using the bitftp server at pucc.princeton.edu.  Send mail to
bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu with body "help" for more information.
