It seems if you have no tty, you can't create a password. Surely
there is a better way to do this?
Looking at the code, it's trying to open the tty and turn off echo.
For the record: FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p3
And yes, there is no console. I'm attached to a FreeBSD jail from the
host system, directly via the ezjail-admin console command.
# w
6:52PM up 18 days, 23:34, 0 users, load averages: 0.96, 0.57, 0.46
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT

Ain't nobody there..
This is mostly for the record, as I found nobody else encountering this
problem.
Interesting... the same thing on a FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p6 gives a
different result. After getting into the jail via 'ezjail-admin
console', there is a tty listed:
# w
7:14PM up 43 days, 23:52, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
root pts/0 - 7:14PM - w
And all is well:
# doveoveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT
Enter new password:
