Let's say I have a directory I want to give 5 different users, in 3 different groups, read/write access to..... but, there are 4 other users in 2 other groups that I want to give them just read access to... then everyone else I don't want to have access to this directory at all..... how can I do this?

I don't think you can with normal file systems. You could easily with Access Control Lists (ACLs), though. Your best bet is to make a group and put the 5 read/write people in that group, then chgrp the files to that new group. Then give everyone read access.

You may be able to find an ACL patch for ext2 or whatever filesystem you're using, but I don't have any experience with that.
