Last time I tried to use it, the "smb=" option didn't work because Samba refused to run when launched with qemu's mini config file and launched as a regular user. It needed access to various hard-coded root-owned directories, and spewed lots of errors about it into its logs. On closer inspection, those directories were hard-coded and could not be changed by the config file, nor could the features they were for be disabled. Even if I gave it permission to write to those, by running kvm/qemu as root, there was plenty of reason to worry that each instance of qemu-spawned Samba may interfere with the others and with the host's own.... starting with errors spewed into log files by both Sambas. So I had to give up on -net user,smb= completely :-( Is this something that you at SuSE have fixed or simply never encountered? My problems were with Debian and Ubuntu installations. I suspect they might have "fixed" some Samba problems by patching in different problems. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
