The "passwd" program is trying to read its input from its controlling
terminal, and when you run it that way there's no controlling terminal,
only stdin/stdout/stderr.
If you're using OpenSSH, try adding a "-t" to request a pty (two -t's to
force it), ie:
ssh -t SERVERB "passwd USER1"
If you're using some other software then check for an equivalent option.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
