[NTLUG:Discuss] File Access

[Bug Hunter]

 You can make user "nobody" the owner of the files, and put the file in
the group that all the users share.  then you can make the file readable
and writeable only to that group.

as root:

chown nobody filename
chgroup groupname filename
chmod o-rwx,g+rwx,u+rwx filename
