What about

chacl "%.users-x" /usr/bin/chown

that should take away execution rights from all users listed in the users group.

Hi,

CHOWN is one of the privileges that can be granted or denied with 'setprivgrp'.

Providing your users are established in a group (in /etc/group), you could use the commands
setprivgrp groupname [privileges]
or
setprivgrp -n [privileges]

See manpages for setprivgrp(1M) for details.

Best regards,

Dan
