(that .bin comes from /me renaming smbd to smbd.bin to run it under strace from a tiny shell wrapper under original name). I just sent a small patch which adds a command-line switch to smbd. It looks like if smbd needs to log something before it parses smb.conf, it will log to /var/log/samba/log.$progname, but if that fails smbd will exit. And together with samba4 something else has been upgraded on my system (or maybe samba started to load/init more stuff), so now when smbd loads its libraries and initializes stuff it tries to warn about obsolete name /etc/pkcs11/modules/gnome-keyring-module and does that _before_ reading smb.conf. That patch makes my samba to work. So my conclusion about missing inetd mode was wrong. But I really wonder if we should run a helper script to set things up instead of hardcoding it all into qemu binary... It is so much easier to modify and debug the script. > What error are you getting when run it as root? Is there anything else missing on your side? /mjt
