...ting some odd files created which aren't being deleted. They are all zero byte files, named after a network interface, so I assume they may be temporary files which are not being deleted.

TIA, Mike.

Due to the fact that no one has fixed it it must be a feature ;-) not a bug. These files (Ne00:, Ne01:, Ne02: and so on) are always created if the above parameter is set to YES (the default) and an application has opened a file on the Samba and is printing to a network printer. How to get rid? Either switch the parameter to off or use a small cron script that removes the files automatically. Be carefu...
