Yes. Someone said that the /var/spool/uucp directory should only be
writable by uucp, so there is no reason for the sticky bit. I asked my
local Unix guru whether this was true, and he said yes, it should only be
writable by uucp, but the /var/spool/uucppublic directory should be public
write. I inquired whether it should have the sticky bit set, and he
seemed to think that it would not matter, but would be okay. I have
changed my system to conform to these suggestions. -David-
