Java Multiple Group Priveleges on same directory?

On my FTP server (Darwin/Mac OS X -- pretty much FreeBSD), I need to apply the following permissions to a directory:

1. A specific owner with full access
2. A specific group with full access
3. A specific group with read-only access
4. No access whatsoever for everyone else

I understand how to apply permission for the owner (1.), the first group (2.), and everyone else (4.)....

Code:
chown owner:group1 dirname
chmod 770 dirname

What I don't get is how to apply read only access for my second group (3.). I feel certain that I a missing something big here. Can anyone help?

i dont know if mac osx has ACL's but if it does try man acl or man setfacl

Thanks for the response, but it looks like darwin doesn't have those utilities available.

Code:
<pre>[localhost:~] % man acl
man: no entry for acl in the manual.
[localhost:~] % man setfacl
man: no entry for setfacl in the manual.</pre>

What is acl? Is that a Linux thing?

Modern Linux distributions also carry support for ACL's, although it's not used as much as it should be.

Not only solaris, HP-UX has them as well Smilie
