[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail file permissions

I'm running RedHat 9 with a TDM400 (2FXO, 2FXS).  

I'd like to give my Asterisk users the option of cleaning up their
voicemail mailbox from their Windows PCs.  I set up Samba and added
all the users with restricted access to their mailbox only, but here's
the problem:

The voicemail .wav files that Asterisk creates have root as both owner
and group.  Since the users do not have root privileges, they can't do
much with the files.  BTW I'm not sure why the voicemail .wav files
have root as both owner and group because I followed the instructions
for running Asterisk other than root (see
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+non-root).

Is there a way around this w/o giving everyone root privileges!

Thanks,
Hugh
