Since you are using SuSE I would try to implement NSS (Novell Storage
Services) on this server. NSS provides enhanced filesystem ACL's for Linux.
NSS allows for Novell file access rights to run on a Linux server using the
standard Linux file system. NSS sits on top of ReiserFS or ext3. With NSS
you should be able to accomplish your third point. I hope this helps a
little.
