[SM-PLUGINS] Problem with change_passwd under Ubuntu Jaunty

[madmacz <lob...@ya...>]

Hi! I'm setting up a squirrel mail server on Ubuntu Jaunty (9,04) and I was
trying to install the change_passwd plugin so that users could change their
passwords. The installation process went good until I put the plugin to
work. On the squirrelmail window I receive an error message, I enabled the
debugging features to see what went wrong and it printed that I should try a
command in console. I tried the command: chpasswd 'user' 'oldpasswd'
'newpasswd' 2>&1 and the systems gives me the following message: chpasswd:
can't lock password file

I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file of the plugin and changed
the owner of the chpasswd file to root:www-data (that's the apache gid under
ubuntu) and the privileges to 4750, but still don't get it to work.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance
