Talked to Anthony Liguori again... He's going to post a note to the qemu-devel list. This code (samba in qemu) has rotted and is more or less unmaintainable, as it's designed horrible (uses a config in /tmp, requires privileges).
Most likely the "fix" for this is going to come in karmic, merging a new QEMU release that removes this option altogether. :-Dustin ** Changed in: kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- samba can't be launched by a normal user (qemu related) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
