You should have three users with only one can do sudo (the admin user). For file exchange, why not just establish a shared folder?

I have not actually installed Ubuntu and used it only as rescue CD so I don't know how the Ubuntu rootless system works in practice. Since there is no root how do I copy files between two normal users? I don't think sudo cp /home/apple/orig.txt /home/boy/copy.txt will work? Another question: isn't sudo a security risk in a computer with many users if user Apple can remove or reconfigure a program that user Boy installed? This maybe deliberate or by accident when one user is experimenting with all the programs available in the menus or when clicking icon for autoupdate.
