additional = """QEMU has been using Samba for it's SMB shares for quite some time now.
But in the 4.17.x release a bug has appeared in the MacOS Build of Samba.
I've filed a bug with Samba, and suggested a fix for it.
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15215
The origin of the bug lies in the fact that when running SMBD as a non-root user, a function sets `errno` unexpectedly.
But after discussing this with Samba, they concluded that running smbd as an un-privileged user is not a supported use case.
Whilst this is not a QEMU bug per se, it is caused by the fact that QEMU is running smbd in an unsupported manner.
As a side note, on Linux this bug does not appear to exist as of yet.
The Linux version of `unbecome_root` doesn't seem to set `errno`. (tested on a recent ArchLinux install).
But I think this depends on the LibC implementation of setuid/seteuid/setreuid/etc. so I can't say it won't happen in the future, or with a different LibC implementation."""
