@Tom: There's an apparent contradiction between “we don't want to have to give this user root access” and “The user can sudo”, could you explain this part better? Regarding your use of the root group: the root group has no special permissions, only the root user does.

Could you expand a bit on the requirements: if the user can write to the file, why does it matter if he might own them? Usually, in these situations, whoever last wrote to the file owns it. | |

| Jun 14, 2011 at 21:16 | comment | added | Caleb | Is your file system mounted with something funny? Are you using ACL's? Normally this would be possible with group membership. | |
