No need to make a group called share. Use the idea of /tmp as your
guide. Just make sure that you set the sticky bit for the directory you
create....
STICKY DIRECTORIES
When the sticky bit is set on a directory, files in that
directory may
be unlinked or renamed only by root or their owner.
Without the
sticky bit, anyone able to write to the directory can delete or
rename
files. The sticky bit is commonly found on directories, such as
/tmp,
that are world-writable.
