samba issues

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Alexander,
I know of NOTHING in samba that would remove files from a directory without
being explicitly told to by the user.
I notice that the one share that is NOT commented out points to the /var/tmp
subdirectory.  It is possible that 
your Mandrake installation is set up to 'clean out' the tmp directory
periodically...

Good afternoon.
My name is Alexander Moloksher.
recently i've finished few installation of samba file server on Mandrake 7.2
platform.
I have options strict locking = yes, prefered master =yes, local master
=yes, domain master = yes, os level = 33 in smb.conf.
i used default samba packages shiped with mandrake 7.2.
everything was going smoothly, especialy with strict locking = yes options,
that took away anoying socket errors, but...
i found that on all 3 servers i've done files  just GONE !!!, they
disappeared from directories on samba server leaving them empty !!!!!. all
files in share root are still in place but files in subdirectories gone
missing.
This is absolutely crazy.. directories still there but they empty.
All 3 samba servers not connected to internet and not accessable by user
yet. They being tested at the moment.
Please help me out, cause this is must be something wrong with how samba
file system handles subdirectory content.
please find my smb.conf attached to this message.
kindest regards.
Alexander Moloksher.
P.S. i've just installed samba 2.2 alpha 3 and having exactly the same
problem
