We have a machine that we want to create a login for that will allow a user rw access \
to only certain directories other  than his home directory.

 /root   
> 
/somedir/-----------+------------+
               |           |              |
        /dirA       /dirB        /dirC
                         |
/dirB1--/dirB2------/dirB3-------/dirB4--------/dirB5
> > > > > 
etc.    etc.          etc.           etc.            etc.

I want to be able to give them rw access to dirB and all of its subdirectories. \
Another application accesses dirA, dirB, and dirC. I tried playing with group \
permissions and then the application started failing. 

My thought is that this is a problem for ACL but I don't have a clue what I am \
talking about or how ACL works. Anybody out there that wants to take a stab at it. \
Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks in Advance to any brave soul who responds.
