OK, the way it works is this: When 'pam password change' is set, it uses PAM rather than 'passwd program' to do the change. This is easier to debug, and gives us back sensible error returns. However, PAM doesn't have a changepass(user, newpass) interface, you have to respond to a series of prompt in the same way a user would. This is what the 'passwd chat' is about, but in my experience the default actually works.
