Re: sharing directories between users on same machine

[Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@topic.nl>]

For the "download" directory, just set the permissions for the group to allow 
writing. I've used this with an NFS share that holds all downloads. The 
machien also runs apache and shares this directory via http.

I share the sstate-cache via http, and there's one machine that runs all 
builds every night, so that the cache is usually up to date. But I think chmod 
g+w on the sstate-cache dir should accomplish the same.
