AFAIK, no such switch has been built into /usr/bin/passwd. In case you want a policy of having *ALL* users having no direct access to passwd binary, and all have to affect changes (if needed) through the sys-admin/ super-user, then move the file /usr/bin/passwd to /sbin, or change permissions. Note, passwd binary normally has suid bit set ( -rws--x--x ), and is owned by root.bin. I do not think that you can deny access to /usr /bin/passwd for a single (or specific) user. Just my 2p.
