Unix Password Sync Woes

[Tony N]

Hello - hope somebody can point me in the right direction here. We use a SCO 
5.0.4 box and samba 2.02, and when I try to get the passwd sync feature 
working, this is what my log file says:- (the user name is tnichols)-

[1999/07/09 12:32:17, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(387)
  Password change for user: tnichols
[1999/07/09 12:32:17, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(78)
  findpty: Allocated slave pty /dev/pts000
[1999/07/09 12:32:17, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(362)
  Dochild for user tnichols (uid=0,gid=0)
[1999/07/09 12:32:17, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:dochild(190)
  Invoking '/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.4Eb/bin/passwd tnichols' as password change 
program.
[1999/07/09 12:32:18, 100] smbd/chgpasswd.c:talktochild(264)
  talktochild: chatbuf=[*1):*] responsebuf=[Setting password for user: 
tnichols

  Password request denied.
  Reason: your identity is not known.
  ]
[1999/07/09 12:32:18, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:talktochild(267)
  response 1 incorrect
[1999/07/09 12:32:18, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(317)
  Child failed to change password: tnichols
[1999/07/09 12:32:18, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(344)
  The status of the process exiting was 256


... I am uncertain what to make of "your identity is not known.", I thought 
passwd was involked by root.

Any ideas, anybody? Please?
