It was removed upstream (pam_smbpass):

Re: Why is package libpam-smbpass removed?

[Linus Eklöf]

If it is planned to have libpam-smbpass removed from 16.04, shouldn't there
be a change in nautilus-share as well so only guest access authentication
is possible?
Right now it might be rather confusing to share a folder and it just won't
work unless you configure samba manually, and if you are comfortable with
that then maybe nautilus-share isn't even necessary.

Cheers,
Linus

Possibly, I have no idea :) I was just trying to provide you an answer
to your original question.

I think this would be worth a bug if there isn't already one filed about
it.

Looking at the src:samba package:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba, it's still published for
Xenial.

Investigating the binary packages generated, though, you're right
libpam-smbpass is no longer generated.

Ah, the changelog
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+changelog) says:

2:4.1.20+dfsg-1ubuntu4
Superseded in xenial-proposed on 2015-12-16
samba (2:4.1.20+dfsg-1ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Backport Debian change to remove libpam-smbpasswd, it segfaults
leading to non working session (lp: #1515207)

That bug is:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1515207 and c#1
there indicates Debian has also removed this package.

Why is package libpam-smbpass removed?

[Linus Eklöf]

This breaks the easy set up for folder sharing in nautilus since only the
guest access will work unless setting up samba manually.

Is this intended or should this feature be present and filed as a bug?

Cheers,
Linus
