Hello,
I don't know if the man pages are being maintained any more. The chmod man page
seems to be more informative than the info page . . .
Anyway, if they are, I have the following complaint.
The chmod man page does not indicate the affect of the "t"/leading 1/stick bit
attribute on directories. I'm told that this prevents unprivileged users from
deleting files that they /do/ have write access to. I haven't tested this, but
I imagine that it is common knowledge. (But not to me, since it isn't in the
man page . . . hence the bug report :-)
Also, the existing description of this attribute is not at all clear to me.
While I understand that man pages can't be written to the lowest common
denominator, I think it could be clearer.
Thanks for all of your work!
-Peter
