man -s 2 chmod If a directory is writable and has S_ISVTX (the sticky bit) set, files within that directory can be removed or renamed only if one or more of the following is true (see unlink(2) and rename(2)): o the user owns the file o the user owns the directory o the file is writable by the user o the user is a privileged user Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
