debugging 'unix password sync'

Hello All,
Running 1.9.18p8, I thought I would try to get unix password synchronization
to work. After reading the smb.conf docs, I made the following changes to
my smb.conf:
unix password sync = true
passwd chat debug = true
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
And also to my /etc/inetd.conf:
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/smbd smbd -d 100
The debug level of 100 came from the docs for 'passwd chat debug'.
I restarted everything (including a cold boot, which it was overdue for...), and
I logged in from a Win95 client. Going through 'Settings->Passwords->
Change Other Password->Microsoft Networking', I kept getting 'incorrect
password'. Okay, no problem, probably a bad chat script (it's Solarisx86 2.5.1).
I looked in my log files (log.<machine>, log.smb, log.nmb), and there was no
chat script debug information. I did try and put a zero-length 'old' password
on Win95 to see what it would do, and all I saw was a 'change_oem_password:
incorrect password length' message in log.<machine>.
Are there other steps required to get chat logging to work?
Thanks in advance, eh?
