9	Why do you want to do this? You could do something similar to:
10
11	# groupadd flashusers
12	# chgrp flashusers /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
13	# chmod 0750 /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
14	# gpasswd -a niceguy flashusers
15
16	However that doesn't prevent a user from installing their own version of
17	flash (mount -o remount,noexec /home might). But I don't understand why.
18	What is your justification for doing that?
