So this was the cause observed behavior.
chgpasswd was builded with PAM support. This program have owl PAM 
serwice description file. In case lack this kind files is used
default /etc/pam.d/deny.
Example /etc/pam.d/chgpasswd file is now avalible in CVS tree:

#%PAM-1.0
auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so
account         required        pam_permit.so
password        include         system-auth
