File Permission Problem
Hi,I am a newbie, in a hp-ux box,i create a file testfile as root,
ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 1 Jan 11 17:51 testfile
then l login the box as user ivan,then I execute
rm testfile
It prompts me testfile : 644 mode ? (y/n) ,if I enter y,then the testfile is deleted.So why could other user delete that file,it seems impossible according to the file permission setting ?
Thanks you all !

--flevel
Specify a custom flevel. Default: 77
--cvd-version
Specify the version number to use for the build. Default is to use the value+1 from the current CVD in --datadir. If no datafile is

string, etc.) is checked.
--decode-sigs=REGEX
Decode signatures read from the standard input (eg. piped from --find-sigs)
--test-sigs=DATABASE TARGET_FILE
Test all signatures from DATABASE against TARGET_FILE. This option will only give valid results if the target file is the final one
(after unpacking, normalization, etc.) for which the signatures were created.
--print-certs=FILE
Print Authenticode details from a PE file.
EXAMPLES
Generate hex string from testfile and save it to testfile.hex:
cat testfile | sigtool --hex-dump > testfile.hex
