samba - Aug 2002 - read/write problem - access denied - Red Hat 7.3 - XP connection

Hi there,
 
I successfully connected a windows XP machine with my samba server (red
Hat 7.3, samba version 2.2.3a) using SWAT.
 
Problem is that the files on the share aren't writeable as I would
expect. Instead, they're only visible as read only. What am I
overlooking.
 
Underneath my config file.
 
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from linux (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/08/04 12:57:20

# Global parameters
[global]
      workgroup = 
      netbios name = SERVER
      server string = Samba Server
      interfaces = 192.168.0.10
      encrypt passwords = Yes
      passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
      passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
      log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
      socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
      dns proxy = No
      hosts allow = 192.168.0.
      printing = lprng

[data]
      comment = Data op Linuxserver
      path = /data
      write list = jeroen, astrid
      read only = No
 
I've added 'writeable = yes' in the share part. But that didn't
work
either.
 
What am I doing wrong. I think its something small. Please help.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Regards,
 
Jeroen

What are the permissions on /data and the files in question  on the linux
server?
What happens if you remove the write list parameter?

One important thing.. the unix file permissions on the directory you are trying
to write to. In addition to the Samba permissions, your user needs to have unix
permissions as well.

  Hi there,
