Most likely you'll have to make sure that the group is accessable to the group everyone (chgrp everyone /home/everyone). The next step is to make it writeable to "everyone" : chmod 2770 everyone/ The "2" makes sure that all files and directories created in the directory /home/everyone are set to the group everyone (otherwise they would be set to the file-creators group and thus not writeable to other users). The last step is to change the default umask to 002 instead of 022 so all files will have the permissions set correctly (-rw-rw-r-- instead of -rw-r--r--). If you don't do this, user1 cannot change the files user2 has created. The default umask can be set in the users profile (/home/user1/.bash_profile) with the line "umask 002". That should be all!
