Sharing /usr/local/www

[Kyrre Nygard]

Hello!

I have a team of designers working on web 2.0 like sites.

I have added them all to this box, now I'm wondering what's the most convenient
way of giving them all access to /usr/local/www?

My temporary solution has been to add all users with UID and GID 80,
and then ln -s /usr/local/www ~/collabo for each user.

If users have their original UID instead of www's then somehow they can't read
or write to /usr/local/www. I thought sharing the same GID was sufficient,
but obviously it isn't. I find this very strange.

Some of them prefer just using FTP, so then being able to click on collabo@
and go straight to /usr/local/www is very convenient for them.

But is there a better way?

Thanks,
Kyrre
