-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For directories, doesn't allow a user to delete files created by another user in that directory. Normally /tmp has the sticky bit set, and nobody can delete other users' files (of course, root can delete anything there). For files.... welll.. long time ago it was used to mark an executable for complete loading in memory at runtime i think.. or something.. not used anymore afaik...
