What OS is this? You password chat has no wildchards between the words.
I'd double check the output from /usr/bin/passwd and make sure your
password chat matches as closely as possible. Also, you could set your
password chat debug = yes and set your log level up to like 100 to see
the output of the passwd change dialog. Secondly, I would take out pam
password change (this has never worked properly for me). Unix password
sync (and the deritative passwd program and passwd chat) and pam
password change are mutually exclusive if I remember right.
