Do you have "vchkpw" in your /etc/group ?
I had this exact same problem on Sun Solaris 2.7, but I can't for the life
of me remember how I got around it. I remember the missing "vhckpw" group
being key. (The configure script allows you to set specify a different
user, but not a different group).
I'll try to dig back through notes and see what else I might have had to do
to get past that ...
