Just a quick question.....

If I want to enable a user to have full file permission over another users 
files & directories, what would I have to do ?

Basically, there is a user created on the box to house someones virtual 
website. This customer has employed another person to design and modify 
their site on the server but they dont want him to know their username & 
password.

So what I want to do is, create this guy an account on the box, but setting 
it so that he can modify, delete, move, create & upload any files and 
directories in their user directory, all from his FTP client, logged in as 
himself.

I remember reading that someone did this by modifying the /etc/group file 
but I couldnt find any info on how this can be done.


Any suggestions ?




Chris
