There isn't a general utility to do that. I wrote a simple script for one such case, namely sork-passwd from the Horde suite. The script just receives the username, old password and new password from stdin and then changes the password entry in a file. But I'm using only passwd files, without the extra fields in a userdb file. Besides that, there are other things that could have been done in a better way.
If you want to take a look, I posted it here some time ago: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-June/031629.html
Thanks Eduardo. That looks like something I might've been able to modify for our needs but using it with sork would require us to install the entire Horde, which we do not want
If you have another similar application that can output the username/password parameters (or can write one easily), the password-changing script should be easy to adapt to that case.
