Linux File Permissions
sticky bit (restricted deletion flag)
- Must be the user-owner of a directory to be able to set the sticky bit for it.
chmod 1xxx dir-list
chmod +t dir-list
The sticky bit prevents unprivileged users from removing or renaming a file in the directory unless they are the owner of the file or the directory; this is commonly found only on world-writable directories like /tmp.
