Expired passwords on Solaris with PAM

I've been doing so more tests with 2.9.9p2 on Sol8. Here are my
finding so far:
When a user needs to change his password and trys to run a command in
non-interactive mode, it just succeeds without even trying to prompt the
user for a new password. Damien submitted a fix - it works for me (is it
going into CVS?).
When a user needs to change his password and trys to login in interactive
mode, readpassphrase() gets called, but doesn't seem to be working
correctly on Sol8 - meaning, it doesn't correctly disable echo. Would it
be possible to use getpass() on Solaris instead for the TTY case
(although, getpass() is not MT-Safe if that matters to anyone). Any
ideas?
