This seems to be a thing for samba with acl. If you are using ext3 or xfs you
can simply change/add acls to the files and directorys and you can give
permissions similar to windows nt (a group/person can read, others can write
and others can execute).
Yeah he had tried ACL before (I thought it was capable of this), but was
much happier with trustees for some reason.
