The fact that pam_chauthtok was never getting called without a tty 
anyway.  Look at the code path in session.c. The do_pam_chauthtok() call 
was only being made for the tty case.

If there is a problem, it is that accounts with expired passwords were
still able to execute commands. Please try the patch below for this.
