samba - Apr 2002 - Cannot Allocate pty for password change: (password sync error)

Hi.

I sorry I've already asked this question, but may mail server went down I I
never recived a reply - so here goes again.

I have a Suse 7.3 set up af DC (Samba 2.2.1a), I've set password sync up and
it worked perfect. Now "somebody" (moste likely me :o) ) have done
something to screw up my passwordsync.

Heres what the log file gives:

[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(451)
  Password change for user: ltb
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)
  pty: try to open ptya0, line was /dev/ptyXX
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)
  pty: try to open ptya1, line was /dev/ptya0
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)
  pty: try to open ptya2, line was /dev/ptya1

  pty: try to open ptya3, line was /dev/ptya2

[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)
  pty: try to open ptyze, line was /dev/ptyzd
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)
  pty: try to open ptyzf, line was /dev/ptyze
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(322)
  Cannot Allocate pty for password change: ltb

...

As it appears the password chat does not even start, it stop with Can't
allocate PTY.

My Linux knowledge is quiet simple so I don't know what a pty is or what I
should do to get it to work again - so if a kind soul out there would be so kind
and point me in a direction :)
