(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.

Is there anything else missing on your side?
