No, I don't ...
This server ist just for testing anbd kept as simple als possible ;-)

That is exactly the point ... if I run it was root (for example "passwd 
testuser"), I am NOT asked for the old password (what seems reasonable ... 
how should root change forgotten passwords if he was asked for it?).
Running "passwd" or "passwd testuser" as testuser, I am asked for the old 
password. For this reason my conclusion was that passwd is not executed as 
root ...
