samba - May 2002 - Quickbooks 2000 multiuser on Samba file server access denied

Are there settings I need to add to get Quickbooks multiuser to work on a Samba
fileserver? 

The Quickbooks data resides on a RedHat 7.2 box running Samba 2.2.1a. The
clients are Quickbooks 2000 pro; one is one client win98 and two are win2k. It
works fine as long as only one person is accessing the data. All users have
their Quickbooks software set to multiuser. When additional people try to
access the data they get an error stating that there are "insufficient
priveleges or permissions." (sorry i don't have the exact text of the
error but
i haven't seen it myself and am offsite)

Thanks tons in advance.

I have not done this for 3 or 4 years BUT when I did it I found that the QB
files
needed to be rwx for the users accessing. The rw part is obvious but the x part 
was what drove me up a wall for a long time. There are some QB control files
that
need the x bit set also.
