Rights are not the challenge here. It's to be able to share a directory across multiple users. For instance you would have : /users/bob/accounting shared with Alice and accessible in her home directory /users/alice/accounting > If you haven't already, remember to create a bug report and include as much > detail and logs as you can gather, as people will need to be able to tell > what the actual issue is.
