Villa,

By default, when you create a user it will have access to find and grep commands, the only thing you need to do put the user in the group where the user needs to read the files. i.e read permission is required to check the files with find and grep.

# useradd -u -s/bin/sh -d/home/user -c"Comment" -g -m newuser

Do you have sudo installed , then it is very easy , just need to configure the sudoers file.

You can check this: its free:

Else you have to work on the unix permission side chown and chmod.

Villa,

One more option, you can configure the user with rsh (restrcited shell , /usr/bin/rsh) and create a bin directory on its home directory and copy the files you want to give permission into this bin directoy.

For details check this link:
