I'm running smbd that came with slackware 10-dot-something...
john@kong:~$ /usr/sbin/smbd -V
Version 3.0.14a
It's not suid root either.
The 'smb.conf' contains a "lock directory" entry, which (you would
think!) tells smbd to use the temporary directory as the lock directory.
Are you sure that smbd actually found and read the 'smb.conf' file which
qemu generated?
The qemu-generated 'smb.conf' file overrides all samba default paths in
'/var' except for the "utmp directory" and "wtmp directory" parameters.
Maybe your smbd was compiled with '--with-utmp' in which case you might
need qemu to specify "utmp directory" and "wtmp directory" in 'smb.conf'.
