passwd uses PAM to update a password, but PAM does not have a routine to expire a password. Expiring LDAP password in passwd would require to give LDAP knowledge to passwd, which is not planned. In case of patch (and if there is a single LDAP schema for storing passwd/shadow like information), this could be reconsidered. Until then, the relevant LDAP tools must be used.
