Samba creating odd temporary files

[swerdna]

@akwe-xavante

Can anybody help me?

When i run a Windows executable from a windows machine that is located on a Mapped Drive on my Linux box (SuSE 11) i get a temp file created thats impossible to delete from a Windows machine! It can only be deleted from the Linux box logged in as root.

Why is this and how can i resolve this issue, why is the temp file created and why is it not automatically deleted when the Win executable finnishes its job?

I don’t want hundreds of temp files to periodically delete!

Any help appreciated.

Can you please post the contents of your samba config file, smb.conf, and also the ownership and permissions on the Suse directory that is shared from Linux (e.g. do ls -l /path etc)
