Thank you Alan, but i think that wouldn´t be necessary cause of the
answer from Birger Blix:
***********
/dev/null is a character device, and has no size.
If you will share nothing, then don't share
***********

But ok why not, i will mount the null device to a folder like
/mnt/null and following share that folder in the smb.conf so the
windows network clients can connect to that shared folder.
The user copy something in that folder but in effect he erase it ;o)
