I did a few simple tests here, I also find that umask doesn't like
setting sticky and {s,g}uid. Maybe you can achieve the same result with
acls?
Probably, but I know nothing of acls. Probably an overkill, too.
What's the reason you want to set the sticky bit for thaqt user? With
some more info, maybe we can come up with an alternative
Just to allow users of a certain group to write to common directories
(not always the same, and which might be created by anyone of those
users) and avoid deleting each other's files.
Incidentally, even if we persuade umask to set the sticky bit on dirs,
it's probably not what you want, as it'll make all files sticky as well
Yes, but isn't that more or less harmless?
Maybe I should cook up some script to do it only on directories, but it
would be nicer if it worked out of the unix box...
Thanks,
Jorge
