[Sumit Kumar Agarwal]

Dear all
        
        I Have A small problem. in my linux server there are three users
user1, user2, user3 and all of them belong to a single group  group1 
user1 has some files which user2 can access but user3 should not be have
even a read access to them how do i set permission to the file such that
user2 can access and user3 should not access with out changing there
groups. If any one have an idea how do we set such permission plz let me
know

Thanks in advance

regards

Make a second group and put the first two guys in it (users can be in
multiple groups) and assign group rights to that file based on the new
group.
