I suppose you might be able to mess with the 'pam' configuration
to cause ssh to refer to some other authentication source (like LDAP)
instead of usual/normal authentication data... but _why_ would you want
to do this?
 
you can generate and make use of crypto keys so you don't have to use
a password at all with ssh... that's one of the ways it's _supposed_
to be used.
