samba - Jun 2004 - Unable to execute program from smbldap-passwd.pl om samba 3.0.4

Hello!
Recently I've migrated from samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.4. I use ldap as user 
database backend.
To synchronize unix password the smbldap-passwd.pl script is used. But I 
need to sync virtual mail passwords as well.
That is why I added to the script few lines of code. Mainly I call 
external programs.
The code is like this:
system("/etc/cron.hourly/sqwebmail-cron-cleancache");

When I run smbldap-passwd.pl script from command line it works just 
fine, however when samba calls it, unix and samba passwords got changed.
But my code, which I added, looks like never been called at all.
samba 2.2.8a worked fine.
I suspect the samba restrict execution of external programs by passwd 
program. If it so, is there any workaround?

Thank you in advance.

for smbldap-passwd.pl to be called, you need to add  in smb.conf :
'unix password sync = Yes'
I know this is strange for ldap backend, but the man page said that.
Next, you need to patch smbldap-passwd.pl (in 3 different places) so that
you have only the <STDIN> between "stty -echo" and "stty
echo".
For example:

system "stty -echo";
chomp($pass=<STDIN>);
system "stty echo";
print "\n";

and not
system "stty -echo";
chomp($pass=<STDIN>);
print "\n";
system "stty echo";

i am sorry, i can't send a patch because i don't have old sources with
me
:-(
