Hi,

does anybody know how to solve the following
administration problem on a FreeBSD file server:

- There a some large files on the server,
  belonging to someone.
  
- The owner and some other users must be able
  to read and write them.
  
- Another group of users shall have read-only access.

- All remaining users shall have
  neither read nor write access.

My approach was, to specify group-permissions like below,
and putting all r/w users into the specific group 'rwgroup',
but this does not allow me to distinguish between the users
with r/w and the users with read-only permission.

 > ls -lF  file
 -rw-rw----  1  user   rwgroup   1024 Dec 13 14:55 file
 
(the owner and all users who are members in group 'rwgroup'
have r/w access, others have no access at all. But how can
I give read-only access to an additional group of users??)


Any hints are appreciated!


Best regards
Ulrich
