SAMBA file system permissions

I'm mounting a SAMBA file system for read/write access from my RedHat 9
box, but I have to be root to write to it, which is a pain! I've got the
following line in my fstab, using dmask=000 to try to set permissions to
777, but it doesn't work and the permissions are always 755:

//server1/data_dir /home/andy/data_dir smbfs
username=andy,password=abc123,dmask=000 0 0

Any suggestions please?

Andy
