multiple group rights?
One thing I never understood about Linux file rights is, ok, the second set of three rights are for the group so:
drwxr-xr-x 3 edward users
means that the group "users" has read and execute rights.
However, what if I want to allow TWO groups to have access to the file, e.g. "accounting" and "sales"?
Thanks,

Possibly you could make a new group accsales and put the users you want to access the files in that group. This way accounting has their own group of files, sales has their special files and the common files are in accsales group.

I like slapNUT's suggestion, personally. But if you really feel adventurous or you feel this sort of problem is going to recur, you might look into patching your kernel to support ACLs
(Access Control Lists) so that you can have a bit more of fine-grained control over permissions on your files.
