  Sticky Directories
     A directory for which the sticky bit is set restricts  dele-
     tion of files it contains.  A file in a sticky directory may
     only be removed or renamed by a user who has  write  permis-
     sion  on  the  directory, and either owns the file, owns the
     directory, or is the super-user.  This is useful for  direc-
     tories  such  as  /tmp, which must be publicly writable, but
     should deny users permission to arbitrarily delete or rename
     the files of others.

     Any user may create  a  sticky  directory.   See  chmod  for
     details about modifying file modes.
