But how?
Authored by: rickybuchanan on Jan 21, '07 08:25:48PM

I am facing exactly the problem that you describe - wanting multiple users to be able to access the same files. It seems that my Tiger install has the "group for each user" style going... what is the best way to set this up so that it works? I know my way around chmod, but doing that for each file every time seems, errr, un-maccish!

Open up NetInfo...
You'll copy an existing group entry and change the members in it and groupname
then save the changes

Next create a new folder with the appropriate permissions..
and chown owner:newgroupname folder
e.g. chown root:admin foofile

Users in your newly made group can now access/modify files who'se owned by the group
