Changing Windows passwords

Hi all,
Is there a way to use the "encrypt passwords" and the "passwd chat" programs
simultaneously? smb.conf(5) doesn't mention anything about them being
mutually exclusive, yet when I run testparm on the smb.conf file, I get:
ERROR: the 'passwd chat' script [...] expects to use the old
plaintext password via the %o substitution. With encrypted
passwords this is not possible.
So, how then can I run a Samba PDC, which requires encrypted passwords, *and*
allow people to be able to change their passwords (Unix and Windows) from
windows, if the 'passwd chat' and 'encrypt passwords" settings are exclusive
of each other?
My config is:
Samba 2.0.4
RH 6.0 in an NIS environment
(I'm wanted to use yppasswd in the 'passwd chat' script)
Thanks for any insight!
