Hi Bill,
sorry that I forged to specify the location. My 'TMP' share points to:
/tmp/samba_tmp
this directory has the same permisions as the /tmp, ie, everybody
can write, etc.

The files are being delete in a period of minutes after transfering the
files
from a windows clients to the share.
I also have my / directory on a RAID1(/dev/md0) with 2.2GB of free
space.

I don't if maters, but the files that I transfer to  this directory are big,

from 80MB to 140MB.

All this happens on a controled environment. I was to only person on the
network a that time. This is a small intranet network, so I can verify that
no one is accesing the share. Only I was loged on two machines with
the same user.

Thanks
Oliver
