[sork] problems with 'passwd' and expect Driver

[Shane Y. Gibson]

The interesting thing is ... I don't think the 'expect' script is firing 
properly, when being called from the web page.  I don't see any login 
attempts on my remote system, where the passwords are being changed.  I 
do have the 'program' parameter in the config file set to 
/usr/bin/expect, which is where the binary is at.

Any thoughts on how to debug this would be gratefully appreciated.  FYI 
- I did change the scripts/passwd_expect script back to it's original 
format of using stdin instead of command line input.
