[Samba] Exclamation point (!) in password

Hi,

recently we updated our Samba AD and Samba fileserver to
4.15.0-SerNet-RedHat-4.el8 and discovered a problem with a user wanted to
connect to a samba share from a current macOS. The user has a exclamation point
(!) at the very end of the password string. Samba disagrees with that and
replies with an authentication error.

Testwise we changed the ?!? to the penultimate character and the logon works
again.

This behaviour must be introduced with a version after 14.13 where we came from.
Is this a known issue? Could not find something.

Thanks anyway for a great software!

Tobias
