Data 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 !

yencode(n)						   encode/decoding a binary file						yencode(n)

NAME
yencode - encode/decoding a binary file SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8 package require yencode ?1.0? ::yencode::encode string ::yencode::decode string ::yencode::yencode ?-name string? ?-line integer? ?-crc32 boolean? (-file filename | ?--? string) ::yencode::ydecode (-file filename | ?--? string) DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the yEnc file encoding. This is a recently introduced method of encoding binary files for transmission through usenet. This encoding packs binary data into a format that requires an 8-bit clean transmission layer but that escapes characters special to the NNTP posting protocols. See http://www.yenc.org/ for details concerning the algorithm. ::yencode::encode string returns the yEnc encoded data. ::yencode::decode string Decodes the given yEnc encoded data. ::yencode::yencode ?-name string? ?-line integer? ?-crc32 boolean? (-file filename | ?--? string) Encode a file or block of data. ::yencode::ydecode (-file filename | ?--? string) Decode a file or block of data. A file may contain more than one embedded file so the result is a list where each element is a three element list of filename, file size and data. OPTIONS
-filename name Cause the yencode or ydecode commands to read their data from the named file rather that taking a string parameter. -name string The encoded data header line contains the suggested file name to be used when unpacking the data. Use this option to change this from the default of "data.dat". -line integer The yencoded data header line contains records the line length used during the encoding. Use this option to select a line length other that the default of 128. Note that NNTP imposes a 1000 character line length limit and some gateways may have trouble with more than 255 characters per line. -crc32 boolean The yEnc specification recommends the inclusion of a cyclic redundancy check value in the footer. Use this option to change the default from true to false. % set d [yencode::yencode -file testfile.txt] =ybegin line=128 size=584 name=testfile.txt -o- data not shown -o- =yend size=584 crc32=ded29f4f KEYWORDS
