Multiple group permissions on files/dirs

Hello,

I have FreeBSD installed and running as a webserver with apache. Everything is fine o that front with now problems.

I connect to the htdocs loaction for editing the files.

however I now need to give permissions to another use to be able to access particular web probjects on the server

current:
Mount: /htdocs (RAID)

then

/htdocs/project1
/htdocs/project2
/htdocs/project3

I have 5 users so far on the system, my user account is part of the wheel group so I can access anything. Whereas I want to beable to add say "user2" to beable to write to /project2/*

Quite a few links point me to ACL, do I have to go this route? or is there a simpler way.

thanks.

Paul.

Say you want to make usera and userb to edit /project2/
1. Add a group called project2group (vi /etc/group) and add these two users to this group.
2. chgrp -R project2group /home/project2/
3. chmod -R 775 project2group

This will make sure that they can read/write on the group. If you make the webaccount (www) as the owner of these directories/files, then you can change the permissions to 770 instead of 775.
