I tryied to edit my "passwd chat" but it still don't work.

This is my output when I change the user password (as root):
#passwd silvia
Immettere nuova password UNIX: 
Reimmettere la nuova password UNIX: 
passwd: password aggiornata correttamente

So my passwd chat is:
passwd chat = *Immettere*nuova*password*UNIX:*%n*\n* *Reimmettere*la*nuova*password*UNIX:*%n*\n* *passwd:*password*aggiornata*correttamente*

but it still don't work.

I tried also some different values for passwd chat (even something like: passwd chat = *nuova*password*%n*\n* *nuova*password*%n*\n* *password*) but no way...

Maybe there is something I've not understood in the passwd chat sintax? I don't know...

I'd like to setup this feature but it's not a critical one (I don't think I'll setup LDAP just for this).

Thank you everyone is spending time to answer me!
(I appreciate it so much :-)
