Hi

Have you looked at msec?  you can also use a setuid bit to make the file 
inherit the group (or should be able to I think)

Msec run's on cron and does all sorts of system secuitry things, it could be 
made to chown a directory as part of that without any problem at all.   Not 
sure if it's installed on all versions of linux tho.

Cheers
Glen
