problems with smbpasswd

I now seem to need to use the -r option with smbpasswd to change my password,
why?  Root doesn't need to use the option. I'm using the main branch of samba 
that I got on Tues 12th on Solaris 2.6.

E.g. as a normal user:

% smbpasswd 
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : code 131.

"smbpasswd -r <samba machine>" works.

Is this a new feature,  or am I doing something wrong?
