I have a user with the following requirement:

He has a file which others may append to, but not overwrite. As there is no concept
of 'append only' permission in Unix, he restricts write access to
himself, then supplies
a setuid program which setuids to himself to append to the file. The
program is secure, as
only he has write access to it. Thus his object is achieved.

How can I do this with AFS ?
