I don't follow. If you're rewriting the .ini file through Trac, it arbitrates access to the file, so no matter who logs in to trac, the webserver is what is accessing the filesystem.

If you're having folks ssh in and edit the .ini file manually, but don't want them all to be able to edit everyone else's trac .ini files, then yeah, you're doing groups or sudo.

Otherwise you're looking at creating and managing lots of groups and
most of us just say "screw it, chmod -R a+w" even before their number
hits 32.

So, "security is hard and I'm a lazy sysadmin"?

If it makes you feel any better, HBGary Federal and Sony appear to have sysadmins which take a similar view, so you're not alone in the world.
