We've got a CentOS/Apache server with a ton of "content providers" that 
only have write access to specific directories.  In our case, we use 
ACLs to grant access to the specific parts of the /var/www/html tree. 
If there's only one or two users, we usually add individual ACL entries 
for each, if there's a herd[1] of them we set up a group, make them 
members, and set the ACLs to use the group.  I'm surprised nobody 
brought it up already!

[1] users come in herds, like all forms of cattle.
