Unfortunately the patch hasn't really been kept up-to-date. I wish something *like* this could be included in the standard kernel, but I guess I understand why it's not also. Here's a link to trustees: http://trustees.sourceforge.net/ You could also use ACLs to give your teachers permissions, but that tends to take a lot of work imho, but it's what were looking at to replace trustees when I can no longer get it to patch into kernels.
