[Samba] How can Samba both work, and, suddenly stop working, simultaneously?

[Denis Fateyev]

Hello Paul,

I think, `/tmp` in your filesystem is not not a good place to hold and share
your files anyway. Try with another place.

By the way, you have an old samba version (`3.0.20`), probably it's better
to update it at first.
As I know, there are a lot of issues with old `3.0.x` branch and Vista /
Seven. It's very old version that isn't supported currently.

wbr, Denis.
