[Samba] probleb with 'passwd chat' and 'passwd program'

[Jérôme Tournier]

Hi !
I have a problem using an external script to change password :
in smb.conf, i have :
=> passwd chat = "Changing password for*\nNew password*" %n\n "\nRetype
new password*" %n\n
=> passwd chat debug = Yes
=> log level = 100
=> unix password sync = Yes
=> passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd %u
The script is called normally, and logs show that the "passwd chat"
looks good as the new password (coucou) is send two times. You can find
the logs bellow.
But the script should normally also changed the userPassword attribut
and this is not done.
The smbldap-passwd script read the passwords like that (it's a perl
script) :
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
system "stty -echo";
print "New password : ";
chomp($pass=<STDIN>);
print "\n";
system "stty echo";
system "echo pass=$pass >> /tmp/bla.txt";

system "stty -echo";
print "Retype new password : ";
chomp($pass2=<STDIN>);
print "\n";
system "stty echo";
system "echo pass2=$pass2 >> /tmp/bla.txt";
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I added two 'echo ... > /tmp/bla.txt' to see what is passed to the
script. The first one is called as it should be, but the second one is
never
called. The end of the script is then never done : the userPassword is
then never updated :-(
(i am using samba 3.0.2rc2).
I can find what is wrong. Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks :)

Here are the log of smbd :
