Using the passwd command (as root), through a -f flag on and the user will be stuck in change-me land until they can get that 8 character password together.

passwd -f $USER

It’s just that simple.

chage -d 0 $USER

Only downside is that this doesn’t seem to work with older versions of ssh (pre 4.0 I believe) that are using privilege separation. You’ll have to edit the sshd_config file and turn privilege separation off or, a much better solution, upgrade openssh.
