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.
