FWIW the file_inherit and directory_inherit ACLs are *very* useful
for some ported games where the authors don't understand what "multi-
user machine" means.

Gregory & Bob,
Keep in mind that Mac OS X 10.4.X does not only support Unix
Permissions, but ACLs as well.
Review the File Services PDF on ACLs / ACEs
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/File_Services_v10.4.pdf
You can also look at the man page for commands like "chmod" and
learn about ACL support.

You're all making this too hard. You don't need a directory service,
just plain old Unix groups and chmod.

CLI Command methods for managing:
dscl - Directory Service command line utility
dseditgroup - Group record manipulation tool
You could also install Admin Tools on the Client and manage this
using
Workgroup manager against the local directory.

The "Netinfo Manager" application in the Utilities directory is the
GUI way
to create groups and assign/edit group rights and parameters.
Otherwise, consult a good Unix book for the terminal command (I used
to have
one handy, but don't right now or I would put it in here.)

Under "Get Info" on a file there is the following 3 categories.
Owner, Group, and Others. Where can I create a group so I can limit
access to just whoever is in the group? Can't find any info on
how to
create the Group my guess is that these categories may have to be
created on a PC but my other users are on Macs. Can someone
point me
info on this topic or how to setup a "Group"?
Thanks
