Going even further in this direction, the following POSIX ACL on the
directories will do what you want:
## Note: file owner and group are kmoffett
u::rw-
g::rw-
u:lsorens:rw-
u:mtharp:rw-
u:mperkel:rw-
g:randomcvsdudes:r-

The problem that I have with this setup is that it specifies an ACL on
EACH file. Yes, you can set a default on the directory for newly
created files, but what if I want to add a user to the access list for
that whole directory? I have to individually update every acl on every
file in that directory. Also if you move a file created elsewhere into
that directory, it retains its existing permissions doesn't it? I would
rather just add a new ace to the directory itself which specifies that
it applies to the entire tree. Then you only need to store a single acl
on disk, and only have to update one acl to add a new user.
