sshd can't change expired password on Sol8 with Openssh3.0p1 + PAM

The reason I ask about the patches is because I think the problem you're
seeing might actually be a bug in pam_unix.so.1 - it's something to try at
least.  We don't use password aging and we don't use the "passwd" command
to change passwords, so we haven't run into this at our site even though
we probably don't have pam_unix.so patched up.  Also, the passwd command
doesn't even work if you have something besides "files", "nis" or "nis+"
in the passwd line of /etc/nsswitch.conf (which we do).
