| they must have write access to files belonging to other users
| in the same group, sometimes to files/directories that are
| owned by users of other groups. But they must not be able to
| modify the access rights of files owned by users in the
| same group; eventually it will be useful to deny
| modifying access rights to all users.

set all files to be owned by root :-)  and make sure that
'dos filemode = no'   That should do it.   (but give the
user's the necessary write permissions).





cheers, jerry
