Using ACL to make actually usefule group permissions
Sadly the built in UNIX way of doing permissions, with it's notions of users, groups, and "others" is in practice quite difficult to use to make "shared folders". FACL (for file access control lists) is an extension to these mechanisms that gives more flexibility.

setfacl -Rm g:users:rwX /path/to/some/folder/ setfacl -d -Rm g:users:rwX /path/to/some/folder/
