Hi Rutger,

Looking more carefully, =E2=80=98fork_exec=E2=80=99 in slirp/misc.c already=
 uses
=E2=80=98execvp=E2=80=99 (meaning that the executable is searched for in $P=
ATH), so it
may be that configuring with:

  --smbd=3Dsmbd

is enough to have =E2=80=98smbd=E2=80=99 searched for in $PATH, no?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
