Depending on the O/S and such, solution might be a bit different... but
filesystem permissions are generally different than sudo.  Either "chown"
the directory to them, or give the user their own group, or let sudo take
care of it with a sudo to a given user/group that owns or has write perms
to those files or the directory, etc...

Many O/S' (Solaris included) have ACLs that may work better for you when
you're dealing with simply filesystem issues...

Hope that's somehow helpful...
