Did anybody try setting the sticky bit?
That doesn't seem likely to help. Presumably "/dev" is owned by and only writable by root, so making it sticky isn't going to have any real effect. Root was the only user that could have removed an entry there and will still be able to even if the directory is marked sticky.
Probably, yes. Although I was thinking of the file, not the directory. I'm just hopping - I have never tried - that a "delete file" operation complains about the sticky bit having to be removed first. As I say, I don't know if that is the case, I'm just hoping. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
