I agree with you, unix rights are the first thing to look for. I was assuming
a second level, in which Dan would want to give mmurock specific rights
without creating the groups that goes underneath. Perhaps i was looking to
far. I got used to environment in which we could not even consider creating a
group for each share.
Sorry for applying rules for a more specific implementation in this case.
