What is the best way to let developers work on virtual hosts in a shell with vim? The virtual host directories all have unique user accounts like this: -bash-2.05b$ ls -al /vhosts/ drwxr-xr-x 4 allch allch 512 Mar 22 10:32 domain1.com drwxr-xr-x 5 ald ald 512 Jan 27 15:30 domain2.org drwxr-xr-x 6 bcad bcad 512 Apr 4 16:56 domain3.net So do you add the developer account to each group and do a chmod -R g+w /vhosts? Is that insecure at all? The developers are trusted users. Should I be looking into allow sudo commands? They have been using ftp, but are now asking for a shell so they can work faster. I want to accomplish this in a secure manner.
