Hello Chris,
This is probably best handled at the server's level.
Since this is a Leopard server, ACLs are enabled by default and certainly constitute the easiest way to handle such a problem.
It is important to remember that ACLs are inherited by an item (file or directory) from its parent directory when the item is created in the filesystem (it is not sufficient to just move the item); you'll therefore probably have to recursively apply your ACL by hand on your existing share point and its contents, but this will be needed only once.
HTH,
Axel _______________________________________________
