Sorry, but the module doesn't implement the yppasswd protocol (which is
also used for ypchfn and ypchsh).  You'll need to use the web gateway or
other native LDAP tools for that.

A change request in that protocol includes the current password in
unhashed, unencrypted form, so I don't expect to add support for it in
the future.

HTH,
