Hi,
Welcome to the club. This bug was introduced in Samba 2.0.3 I believe but has
never been fixed.
These files are always created if a NT system prints a file from the Samba share
to a network printer.
If you set "nt smb support" to NO these files will not be created
anymore. I do not know if there are any side effects to other functions.
Best regards,
Axel Neumann
