shell access?

[Rastar]

As some of you know I host Multi-User Dungeons (think text based RPG). Most of the folks I host have a couple of people that are "Coders/Builders" that may require access to the shell account for the hosted person.

If I host a persons mud named jack
how would I allow a person named Tim to access only that persons home dir yet maintain a seperate user name for tracking purposes?

Hopefully that was clear enough but if not this is what I want.

Host a single mud username jack with home dir
allow Tim and John access to Jacks account without giving the password of Jack's account to them, and not have them have a home dir?

Thanks
Ras

>  useradd jack -g jack -G users -d /home/jack
>  passwd jack
   [some password only known to jack]
> useradd john -g jack  -G users -d /home/jack
> passwd john
   [some password only known to john]
> useradd tim -g jack  -G users -d /home/jack
> passwd tim
  [some password only known to tim]

Since all users are within the jack group, as primary, they will be allowed to edit/delete eachother files, since they all are members of the users group, they are all allowed the normal user rights on the system, since they all have homedir in /home/jack, they all only demand jack's orriginal $HOME.

Forgot to add, that you can see on the owner of the files, who created it.
