best way is probably instaling freenix and opening a session on the
server (for each user)

Digikam (old version, kde3) used to build the database on the folder
pointed to by the config, so one can use as many database as wanted (I
use this often).

New (kde4) allow creating one database and as many "collections"  as
you want.

I beg the best way of working is to allow a different database for
each user. You can then open the locations and have read access to all
the images but write access only on you own base

this may ask for an other level: better make the various users have
write acces to they own images (at the system level, make write
disabled for group, for example) to prevent problems

However, never tried so complicated thing
