Problems with unix passwd sync

[Jaanus Kivistik]

Hi

I am trying to set up Samba 2.0.4b with unix passwd sync, but it fails. It
seems so, that unix passwd program just dies. Any suggestions or solutions? I
use RH 6.0.

Here is a part of my samba log:

[1999/07/02 12:42:09, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(369)
  Dochild for user jaanus (uid=0,gid=0)

  Invoking '/usr/bin/passwd jaanus' as password change program.
