 |PAM: cannot start passwd [tester]

This line shows that starting PAM failed by some reason.  It is the
result of 

 pam_start("passwd","tester",&pam_conv,&pamh)

in "rary/pam.c".  Getting more information about the error will be
helpful.  Could you test the DeleGate patched with the enclosed patch?

Cheers,
Yutaka
