Bug Description
hello, I'm using qemu with the option -smb which is a way to enable a samba server in the network emulated in the qemu virtual machine.
-smb option generates on the fly a new smb.conf stored in /tmp with a new share called [qemu] (I can specify the directory "-smb dir").
this option enables ip 10.0.2.4 in the virtual machine to be a samba server, but which I try to browse it, there are some errors and the process smbd on the host machine, launched by qemu goes in [defunct]
if I launch qemu as root this problem doesn not occurr, but the new share is not enabled. I think it could be that smbd doesn't care about the new smb.conf and it uses the default one. could it be so?

Ack just noticed that that patch segment I posted is actually to an old
samba version and doesn't look like it applies to 3.0.2a. Still though,
I can't seem to get the "private dir" option to work. My suspicion is
that it has something to do with --with-fhs. I'm running the same
version of samba on some solaris machines that I built myself and am not
having this problem there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
