Before running 'smbpasswd', did you also set 'lanman auth = yes' in the
smb.conf?

If not, your smbpasswd entry only has an NTLM password hash, it doesn't have
a LanMan password hash; so connecting to samba in share security mode will
not be possible.

The server hang is a bug anyway, but it may be that it only happens in a
server misconfiguration.

Perhaps we should patch param/loadparm.c to not allow security=share without
lanman auth = yes?
