It's already closed. But before opening a new, check first if this 
isn't caused by open_basedir too.

So you can split it into another bug report or shall I open one?

But that's a completely different issue.

Ok, it's weird because ImageMagick's convert is also in /usr/bin and 
ansel works just fine with using ImageMagick... anyway, I added 
/usr/bin now to the open_basedir path and the script run in horde 
without issues.

However the expect.log in /tmp shows this:


expect: spawn id exp7 not open
     while executing
"expect {
     -re $fingerprint_string {sleep .5
                              send yes\r
                              exp_continue}
     -re $password_st..."
     invoked from within
"if {![string match $login "sudo"]} {
   # log in
   expect {
     -re $fingerprint_string {sleep .5
                              send yes\r
              ..."
     (file "/var/www/horde/passwd/lib/../scripts/passwd-expect" line 185)

This doesn't have anything to do with Horde, but with your PHP setup. 
You probably have safe_mode or open_basedir restrictions applied.

I just added passwd, enabled expect because I need to change the 
password of system users.

When I try to alter it, horde brings this error:

Fehler beim Ändern des Passworts für Expect Script: /usr/bin/expect 
existiert nicht oder ist nicht ausführbar.

--> it can't find or execute the expect binary.


"which expect" returns:  /usr/bin/expect
"ls -al /usr/bin/expect" returns: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.8K Oct 27   
2010 /usr/bin/expect

Apache user also has a shell:
"cat /etc/passwd | grep www-data":  www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh
