    A. o de Weegh,

    We use a kernel patch called trustees to do just what you're talking
    about. Unfortunately the patch hasn't really been kept up-to-date. I
    wish something *like* this could be included in the standard kernel, but
    I guess I understand why it's not also.

    Here's a link to trustees: http://trustees.sourceforge.net/

    You could also use ACLs to give your teachers permissions, but that
    tends to take a lot of work imho, but it's what were looking at to
    replace trustees when I can no longer get it to patch into kernels.

    Here's a link to Linux ACL: http://acl.bestbits.at/
