Try chgrp on the directory holding the file.

Subject: Re: change ownership issue
If it's a manageable number of users, I would create a common
group, add
all users uid and the application uid to that group. Then chgrp the
file to the common group with write permission. As you create new
users, add them to the common group as well ad their own group.
chgrp commongroup filename
chmod g+w filename

We have users that create files with a certain name.
We also have applications which often need to overwrite
these files --
not change the contents.
However, if the users have created the file -- the
application does not
have the pemissions to replace it,
and the user cant change the ownership on his on.
Any ideas how I might be able to rectify this?
