One of the things we're doing, rather than try to get this working is provide 
a central web site on our intranet which uses SSL to allow the person to 
change their password.

This will allow users to change both smbpasswd and /etc/passwd or yp passwords.
Additionally, when we add services in the future which may require new 
passwords, it will be trivial to add password changing capabilities for these 
services to this one location.
