10.5: Share any files between users on the same Mac

Also, using the setuid/setgid bits can create security holes if any executable code is put into one of these folders. Whereas the ACL method would simply allow anyone to execute the code as themselves, using the setuid or setgid bits could allow privilege escalation by allowing anyone to run the code as someone else (e.g. as an admin, or even as root), making it possible for them to mess around with things they ought not to be able to mess around with.
