Yogesh

Check out what sudo does. Say you can allow some functionality of "user1"
which does not include rm. But that can not be limited to a specific set of
files.

Another approach would be to not have rxw capability on the file itself and
allow the user that needs to do rwx type things on that file "extra" sudo
privilages.

Also, explore whether ACLs help you. http://acl.bestbits.at/using.html
