That should work. I just tested. When an ssh connection is made, it 
executes passwd. As soon as the password is changed, the ssh connection 
was closed:

   %ssh -l asdf 192.168.1.50
   Password:
   ...
   Changing local password for asdf
   Old Password:
   New Password:
   Retype New Password:
   Connection to 192.168.1.50 closed.
