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?
