Talk:Sticky bit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

A few things to cover before de-stubbing:

  • dates for "historically"
  • specific OS interpretations of the bit
  • examples of setting it (chmod calls)
  • wikilinks
    • there must be a page describing the traditional UNIX permission octets
    • 'see also' -- ACLs?
  • No specific mention of Linux and what it might do on that
  • more precise categorisation (I have to admit I am not sure what appropriate categories may exist) -- Jon Dowland 15:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Error?

States the sticky bit can only be set by superuser root, however I seem to be able to apply it as a a normal user.
