Hi All,

I'm still running 10.2 :-) and looking to fill in some 'missing bits' of 
information. I've inserted two questions in the following excerpt from a *nix 
file systems tutorial that I found on the 'net:

The permission flags are read left to right

1   directory flag, 'd' if a directory, '-' if a normal file,
    something else occasionally may appear here for special devices.

--> What specific documents, man, info, URL, etc., are available which
    describe these "something else" optional flags in detail?

2,3,4   read, write, execute permissions for User

5,6,7   read, write, execute permissions for Group

8,9,10  read, write, execute permissions for Other

Flag
-    in any position means "not set"
r    file is readable
w    file is writeable (with directories, means files can be added or deleted)
x    program or script is executable (directory contents can be listed)
s    where 'x' would normally go is called the set-UID or set-groupID flag

--> What would a 't' in the tenth position mean? Example:

drwxrwxrwt  4 carl users 160 2007-10-06 09:46 hdb-test/

The relevant fstab line is:

/dev/hdb3   /mnt/hdb-test   reiserfs   noauto,user,acl,user_xattr 1 2

Thanks & regards!

Carl
