granting permission to file/directory to a specific user

hello,

I would like to grant full access to a directory which is owned by root and the web application that created it. I have though of adding the permission to the whole world, but for security reason I would like to grant it to one more user.

I have tried this 'chmod -U newUser+wrx directory' which did not work, would anyone show me the right command and options to use

Thanks,
staph

shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(3)					      shishi					      shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(3)

NAME
shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <shishi.h> int shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(Shishi_tkt * tkt); ARGUMENTS
Shishi_tkt * tkt input variable with ticket info. DESCRIPTION
Determine if ticket may be used to grant postdated tickets. The MAY-POSTDATE flag in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the ticket-granting service. It can be ignored by application servers. This flag MUST be set in a ticket-granting ticket in order to issue a postdated ticket based on the presented ticket. It is reset by default; it MAY be requested by a client by setting the ALLOW- POSTDATE option in the KRB_AS_REQ message. This flag does not allow a client to obtain a postdated ticket-granting ticket; postdated ticket-granting tickets can only by obtained by requesting the postdating in the KRB_AS_REQ message. The life (endtime-starttime) of a postdated ticket will be the remaining life of the ticket-granting ticket at the time of the request, unless the RENEWABLE option is also set, in which case it can be the full life (endtime-starttime) of the ticket-granting ticket. The KDC MAY limit how far in the future a ticket may be postdated. RETURN VALUE
Returns non-0 iff may-postdate flag is set in ticket. REPORTING BUGS
