I'm running 3.3-STABLE about the same age (almost) as 3.4 RELEASE and it
works fine for me.

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.
