File permissions problem

Hi All,
I was hoping someone can help me with a small problem. I have a 5 user
Samba network running on Red Hat 6. One user is set up to have root
equivalence but he only has read-only access to files created by other users
(its also fair to say that the other users only have read-only access to
each others files). I have tried messing around with the Linux permissions
on the files concerned (in a shared data directory), put all the users in
the same group, messed around with the share masks in the smb.conf file but
I still cant crack it, any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong? The Linux box
is the only server on the network, the rest of the machines are 95/98, I
have user level security turned on.
Many thanks
Ash
Attached is the contents of the smb.conf file (apologies for the length of
this post)
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = CCL
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather

; printing = bsd
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
local master = yes
# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
os level = 33
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
domain master = yes
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
preferred master = yes
# Use only if you have an NT server on your network that has been
# configured at install time to be a primary domain controller.
; domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName>
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.

; logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username

# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config,
/etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are
NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
; name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
name resolve order = hosts
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.

# Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_
