But, you can use ACLs. These are much more sophisticated than the simple
owner/group/everyone permission scheme.

Through the use of ACL's. Look at getfacl and setfacl for more info. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

If you need to use Samba and/or NFS ACL's may not work for you. You can still do what you want ... sort of. You would need an extra directory, group, and a umask of 002 though (be careful about changing umask without thinking about the consequences). drwxr-s--- 8 root accounting AccountDir1 drwxrwsr-x 8 root accmanager AccountDir2 In the above example, all members of the accounting group can enter both directories. Only members of the accmanager group (who must also be in the accounting group) can write to the subdirectory. If the first directory is shared via Samba, use the "inherit permissions = yes" option to get the same effect for the 'bloze users. Very close result compared to the original request and it can be used through Samba, NFS and localy. -- Louis Richards

As I understand it, with standard Unix/Linux permissions, only one group "owns" a directory. Perhaps ACLs will do what you need.
Thanks,
do you use acl's in a ldap environment?
