[Samba] [permissions] smbpasswd vs passwd

[Bill Schoolcraft]

Hello Family,

I had encounted that as "user" I couldn't change my own passwd with
"smbpasswd" and noticed the permission differences between smbpasswd
and passwd.  This is Samba-2.2.2

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       782415 Dec 28 03:14
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd 

-r-s--x--x    1 root     root        12244 Feb  7  2000
/usr/bin/passwd 

Is there a reason why the perms are not the same ?

TIA
