Is there a reason for doing this with ACLs vs. standard Unix groups?
[ never mind this question... I saw your answer to the similar question
Topher asked ]

setfacl -d -m u:john:rwx /home/shared
setfacl -d -m u:james:rwx /home/shared
setfacl -d -M u:john:rw /home/shared
setfacl -d -M u:james:rw /home/shared
I think that will do it. The -d says set this as the default, the -m
says modify the directory, and the -M says modify the files. These
instructions do not remove any previously existing ACLs. If you want
to do that, replace the first invocations (the ones for john) with
--set for the directory and --set-file for the files, leave the one for
james with -m and -M to modify the existing ACL.
NOTE: I haven't tested this.
