Out training department has a MACII which is used to prepare presntation
materials, write reports, etc..  It is also used by individuals from other
departments on an occaisonal basis.  The training people would like to make sure
that only the owner of a given folder can change the material in it.

Specifically, what they would like is some software (DA/INIT/CDEV) which would
accept a password to enable access to a particular set of folders.  When the user
was done, they would tell it to protect those folders again.  If someone else
wants to use a different folder, they would specify that folders password to
unprotect it.

Some folders would be left unprotected, and there are multiple flaws in a security
scheme which implements this,  but in our office environment,  this would be
useful.  Is there any software available to do this?  The training people have
minimal budget for enhancing the machine, so Free/Share/Cheap ware is want is
needed here.
