Don't worry about that; you are welcome.

find / -name 'crypt.h'
/usr/src/lib/libcrypt/crypt.h

>What is the compilation output?
# gcc -lcrypt -O -o chpasswd chpasswd.c
chpasswd.c:33:19: error: crypt.h: No such file or directory

# gcc -Wall -lcrypt -O -o chpasswd chpasswd.c
chpasswd.c:33:19: error: crypt.h: No such file or directory
chpasswd.c: In function 'main':
chpasswd.c:103: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'fixpwd'

>What happens when you run the binary from the command line?

#  ./chpasswd <user> <correct.current.passwd> <new.passwd>
RESULT: Current password is incorrect

There is no doubt about the <correct.current.password>; I use that passwd
everyday when logging into Squirrelmail.  As you can see (above) running
the ./chpasswd from the cli shows (incorrect), however running the binary
via SM > Options > change password, the results are printed in red that
the password was successfully changed.  Any attempts to reload or go to
another page results in SM directing you to login.  At this point
Attempting to login with what you think is the new.passwd; fails.

I tried to fix it; didn't work.  What you see above is native/original;
nothing edited, with the exception of removing the '^M' from the
aforementioned file(s).

<your turn>

Snip ... getting a little crowded -- snip ...
