you might want to consider an ACL kernel patch. in simple terms, an ACL
(access control list) lets you specify peoples rights right down to the
file. the notion of groups is supported, too. windows 2k supports ACL's,
as well as some flavors of solaris. i do not have ACL's patched into my
kernel, so i cant vouch for this, but a good place to start looking might
be google...

http://acl.bestbits.at/

was the first site that i came up with. happy hunting, and let us know how
you fare!
