Nope, this makes no difference. smbd still starts with accessing
/var/log/samba/log.smbd, writes a few lines into it (if it has access
permissions), then parses smb.conf, and finally switches over to the
specified log file. But that's a non-issue for the typical use case of
-smb: unprivileged qemu.
