This is undoubtedly the wrong way to do it, but it's easy and works every time. If you are happy to have no security on this at all, set guest only access and make the guest account root (presumably this is the owner of /tmp). Also set samba to use share level access instead of user level. This makes it wide open to any client machine on your LAN, but that seems to be what you want anyway. HTH Brian
