I may end up going this way, it might just be cleaner...

not really. "mv"ing a file is controlled by write permissions on the
dir... right. Modifying the contents of a file is controlled by write
perms on the file (well, I treat a dir like any other file, but
anyways)...
I have the user owning $HOME, and u-w (and go-w too) .... I have root
owning the .qmail files (not that this seems to really do anything or
phase qmail). The users don't have shells, but they do have ftp access.
They "could" write to $HOME provided the perms were there. As I said in
a private message to someone, I just need to see if my ftpd allows chmod
- -- if not, I appear to have what I want. I haven't decided if
users/assign would make things easier. I'll think about it.
Thanks for all the discussion and suggestions.
