[Samba] Smbpasswd + password sync on OS X

[John Snowdon]

Samba 2.2.3a on OS-X 10.2.6

Trying to get a standalone server up and running with user level
security. All the users have valid accounts and passwords, but we've
enabled password sync and password chat and chat debug for the accounts
as we don't do authentication against the active directory.

unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat debug = yes
passwd chat = *ew*assword* %n\n *etype*ew*assword* %n\n

smbpasswd <USERNAME> succesfully changes the smb account, but does not
change the unix account. Looking in the log files, after the smbpasswd
transaction the following errors appear:

Where <USERNAME> is the user who is changing their password.

No errors are shown in the shell, and the user simply recieves the
normal 'Password changed succesfully' message. 

Any ideas if this built in version of Samba is simply borked?
