You create a group for these users and assign them to it. You create a directory where the file to be changed is placed in, lets say
Code:
/usr/local/var/vid_ipconf.txt
which is a copy of your ip config file.
chgrp the directory and the file so that the group you created can access and write to both, the directory and the file.
As next write a small shell script, that does a copy of the original file that will be placed under /etc/network.... (whereever your original config file is placed) each time the script is run. So a simple
Code:
cp -p /etc/network/origfile /origfile.bk
will do maybe.
Next this script copies the file placed the exchange directory (/usr/local/var/vid_ipconf.txt) over the original config file (/etc/network/origfile) and you have to restart your network (?? /etc/init.d/network restart).
This script should be placed into the crontab of root so that it will be called every interval you configure.
I hope the picture got sharper
Make sure you try out before you do so not that you loose connect entirely. No idea if you are remote connected to that machine or can access it via keyboard and screen locally if something goes wrong.

chsh
CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)NAME
chsh - change login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are:
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.
-s, --shell SHELL
The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.
If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.
NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
back to its original value.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shells
List of valid login shells.
/etc/login.defs
Shadow password suite configuration.
