[sork] problems with 'passwd' and expect Driver

All,

I've installed passwd 2.2 on a relatively virgin Horde 2.2.1 and IMP 3.2 
install.  I'm trying to use the expect driver - across SSH to change 
passwords.  I modified some of the strings as my *Nix systems 'passwd' 
program is slightly different.  I changed the scripts/passwd_expect 
script to work via command line input - and successfully ran the script 
to change a password (eg "exect -d ./scripts/passwd_expect USER OLD NEW").

I changed the Driver to call the Expect driver via the config file.

However, when I try to use the 'passwd' web interface - anytime I try 
and change a password, it automatically kicks me out to the Horde/IMP 
login page, without changing the password.  If I log in again, it takes 
me straight to the "passwd" dialog ... I can hit "logout", login again, 
then it'll actually take me to my "inbox".

I've seen this on both Mozilla 1.2.1 and Internet Exploder 6.0.

Any thoughts?  I tried to enable debugging and dumping that output to 
the /tmp/passwd.log file, but that doesn't seem to be working well.  I'm 
running this on a Redhat Linux 8.0/Apache 2.0.40/PHP 4.2.2 system.

I searched through the mailing list archives, but couldn't find anything 
that was related.

TIA.

v/r
Shane
