Most modern *nix systems use a shadow file for passwords, in which  
case the Passwd driver will not work. We provide a "Login" driver for  
this purpose, but a number of systems have an issue with this driver  
as well becuase (IIRC) the su binary is only allowed to be run via an  
actual terminal.

You can try using the Pam authentication backend in this case. I've  
used this successfully on a number of Ubuntu/Debian systems.
