Setting Permissions

[Cole, Timothy D.]

You should be able to use Solaris (POSIX, really) ACLs.

Read the setfacl(1) manpage.  You'll probably find constructs like:

 find DOCS -type f | xargs -n 1 setfacl ...

and

 find DOCS -type d | xargs -n 1 setfacl ...

helpful for setting ACLs on files and directories in DOCS, respectively.

!!! Note that if you use chmod(1) on a file after setting the ACLs, it'll
nuke the file's ACL entries.
