Options:
a. As already suggested change permission to /usr/bin/passwd so that
required groups alone execute. However, I am not sure what will happen if
the user uses gui tools.
b. In my opinion easiest to set time limit to change password by
the user to some large limit say 2 years so that password remains
in tact.
However, the whole idea is against basic security measures. What will happen
if the password is known to some unauthorised third person?
