I traced it in a debugger once. It turns out modssl never gets to see the information your password program prints because of I/O redirection problems. It's an Apache problem. If I remember correctly, Kirk Benson did provide a patch (passing the actual I/O pointers rather than NULL at some place where Apache spawns a child process), and after that, again if I remember correctly, the password program did work for him. Since we worked around the problem in another way, I have not yet come to trying out the patch myself, but I suggest you look back for Kirk's messages in the archive and try it out.
