A samba share pointing to /tmp will do this fine. The relevant 
characteristics of /tmp are 

    read/write by all 
    sticky bit set 


The sticky bit prevents people from erasing other's files. 
You can set those on any other directory with chmod. 

  chmod ugo+rwt directoryname 

Nothing special is required in smb.conf: 

  [sharename] 
     path = /directoryname 
     read only = no 
     public = yes
