I don't understand why you define "pam password change" and
"passwd program" with "passwd chat". You want "pam password change" or
"unix password sync" with ( "passwd program" and "passwd chat" ).

I have it this way:
   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/kerberos/sbin/kadmin.local -q 'cpw %u'
   passwd chat = "Authenticating as principal*"\n"Enter password for principal *"%u"*:*" %n\n \n"Re-enter password for principal *"%u"*:*" %n\n \n"Password for *"%u"@* changed."\n

I have kdc on the same machine as samba PDC. I think there are more ways
where kdc is running on another machine then samba PDC.

I don't know if kerberos needs original password when it change password
for user as root throught pam (but I think it needs some password).
I have never used it this way.
