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.
