If you're on RH, the above sequence for password chat is wrong. Set "unix
password sync = No" and see if it makes a difference!! If yes then you'll
have to set "log level = 103 " and  "passwd chat debug = yes" and look in
the logs! Upon careful examination you'll see what's wrong in the above
"chat" sequence.
