Using sudo with chmod and chown

[Mike Brodbelt <m.brodbelt@acu.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I run several systems, and in an effort to stop admin people logging in
as root too frequently, I have implemented sudo so junior admins can
have the access they need to do their job without needing the root
password (which makes me nervous).

However, I'd like to be able to provide access to chmod and chown
through sudo, but only for files within a certain directory tree. They
need to be able to change ownership, but I obviously don't want them to
be able to execute chown as root on any arbitrary file. It's not
immediately obvious how to achieve this with sudo, and I was wondering
if anyone has don anything similar, and what they've used to retain some
security.

Mike.
