It may not be cleaning up properly the first time through
(i.e. it does not work fine the first time, it just looks like it does).
I notice that in the smb.conf there is a chat script for samba
to change passwords and they check for:
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
right at the end. Maybe you have to check that too.
Also, passwd has some locks in it which cause some files
to be locked during password changing operations, I think
that lslk can detect the locks but I can't remember where
they are.
Another place to look is by doing a pstree before the first
run, then another pstree after the first run and then diff
the two, you might see a passwd process hanging around.
Then you have to do lsof on that process and see what files
it might be hanging onto.
