The error occurs when poppassd fails to open another tty (which it runs passwd on). As poppassd is running as root its odd it failed with permission denied. If you change line 349 to read: syslog(LOG_ERR, "can't open slave pty (%s): %m", slavedev); You will at least find which device it was that it couldn't open.
