It's quite well buried in the documentation but if you set the
'sticky' bit (I think it's that one) in the permissions of a directory
then you get what you want.
Yes, I've just tried it:-
chris$ mkdir test
chris$ sudo -s
[sudo] password for chris:
root at t470# ls -al test
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 chris chris 4096 Nov 4 10:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 chris chris 4096 Nov 4 10:05 ..
root at t470# chmod 2755 test
root at t470# ls -la test
total 8
drwxr-sr-x 2 chris chris 4096 Nov 4 10:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 chris chris 4096 Nov 4 10:05 ..
root at t470# chgrp isbd test
root at t470# ls -al test
total 8
drwxr-sr-x 2 chris isbd 4096 Nov 4 10:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 chris chris 4096 Nov 4 10:05 ..
root at t470# exit
exit
chris$ cd test
/home/chris/tmp/test
chris$ ls -al

drwxr-sr-x 2 chris isbd 4096 Nov 4 10:05 .

chris$ touch fred
chris$ ls -al
