You will have to (re)compile your kernel with your filesystem's (be it ext3,
reiserfs, xfs or whatever) POSIX acl support.  You can the necessary userspace tools and  find patches for the 2.4.x
kernels at:

http://acl.bestbits.at

2.6.x includes support POSIX acls without patching, this must be configured at
compile time.  You will still need the userspace tools (found at the address
above) and a patched version of coreutils (there are binaries available) to
manipulate the acl perm sets.

With acl's you can place fine-grained permission sets (more than one user/group)
on files and directories.

Hope this helps.
