Hi, I tried QEMU with Feisty and I have a similar problem, but I can't run smbd even if I run qemu as root. Using strace, I can see that qemu creates a dir called /tmp/qemu-pidnumber and create a smb.conf file inside it, but doesn't run smbd.
When I try run smbd manually (as non-root user) I got this following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/qemu-smb.5314$ smbd -i -s smb.conf smbd version 3.0.24 started.

To make things more complicated, when I run smbd manually with root user, smbd starts without any problem. Maybe we have a couple of problems, I don't know. Well, if you need anything, please, contact me. I will be glad helping to solve this problem (sorry for my terrible English).
