hi!
1. does your password, you want to change to, confirm your restrictions (it
calls about a password with minimum of 5)?
2. does passwordchange work without passwdchat?
3. is the passwdchat really similar to the output at commandline (each
blank and carriage return must be correct) - it was my problem: i forgot to
set some carriage return!!!
i hope it helps,
lg
