Russ's solution solves most popular case that arises in human group working. However allowing chgrp without editing /adm/users will solve different problem. Suppose bob is a teacher and he is teaching something to alice and carol. Alice want to show her files to only bob, and carol also want to show her files only to bob.How to do that ? Creating new group does not answer the purpose. The only solution of current Plan 9 is chgrp bob ... by host owner.My question comes from real problem. bob is a service program. alice and carol are system users.
I think alice and carol should create two different groups and add bob to these groups. IMHO, allowing regular users to create groups is essensial in multiuser environment. I don't know what's the problem is, but it's better then ACLs.
