I'm trying to synch my Win and Linux passwords but I'm having problems debugging my passwd chat. I'm using SuSE 6.3. with my Linux box as a domain master.

All passwords are encrypted.  smbpasswd is populated Win password caching is off(relevant?)

Initial logon Ok and shares accessible.
This is what I see when I use passwd at the console. (The following done as root)

>passwd sand
New password:
New password (again):
Password changed

smb.conf contains
passwd program     /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat        *New*password* %n\n *New*password* %n\n *changed*
unix password sync Yes

log.smb contains
  Invoking '/usr/bin/passwd sand' as password change program.
  talktochild: chatbuf=[*New*password*] responsebuf=[New password: ]
  talktochild: sendbuf=[sandstorm ]
  talktochild: chatbuf=[*New*password*] responsebuf=[New password (again): ]
  talktochild: sendbuf=[sandstorm]
  talktochild: chatbuf=[*changed*] responsebuf=[]
[2000/11/10 09:40:08, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:talktochild(266)
  response 3 incorrect
[2000/11/10 09:40:08, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(316)
  Child failed to change password: sand

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.  Apologies if it's anything obvious.
