If your password is longer than 18 characters, then the smbutil crypt
function will fail.

I put in a bug report on this a few years ago.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132302

Short answer, if you are running into this problem, either patch your
smbutil function, or use a shorter password.  There is a workaround
patch included in the bug report.

If you are having a different problem, good luck, but submit a report
if it is not the same issue.
