// ...when I try and set a password with passwd...

are you running a single box setup? password expects to be
able to go talk to an auth server. the "protocol botch"
error means it's not getting anyone to talk the auth
protocol with it.

note that if you're running a stand-alone terminal, there
isn't really a "password" for access to local resources. i
think the design principle is that if you've got access to
the local physical hardware, all bets on security are off
anyway, and your files should be on a secured file server
somewhere.

// Is there something I can set/do to send a kill signal to this process...

from within rio (the windowing system), type delete. there
is no job control in the shell, so if you've not got rio
working, you're outta luck (when working on the console,
i generally background things like ping with & so i can
kill them explicitly).

// And for a bonus, what pagers are available?

p(1)

hope this helps.
