Password syncing

[Michael S. Hulet]

I spent several hours at log level 100 to get this to work.  Digital Unix
4.0D

unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/local/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat debug = true
passwd chat =  Changing\spassword\sfor\s%u.\nNew\spassword:\s %n\n
	*(Checking *for*lousy*passwords...)*\n %n\n *Retype*new*passwd:*\n

Look at your chat when you try to change unix password and see if it
resembles my chat sequence.  If not, modify it to match yours.
