This is naturally a part of any linux system. Distro's may differ slightly with permissions, but they all use the same principles. > We're looking at setting up an > internal development environment for software development.

You can set permissions for files so that only specific owners/groups can read/write each file. For example, you can set up each users home directory, so only they can see anything in there, but no-one else can. Or you can set them up so that users can see in each other's directories, but only the owner may change their files, etc etc. > The closest thing that we've seen to kind of describe what we're looking to > create would be www.sourceforge.net or www.collab.net.
