Trouble with files being saved as root.
I have a customer who is trying to have files saved as owner root in an application home directory. I've tried setting the sticky bit and but am not having luck. They do not have full root or sudo access.
User = user123
Group = group123
Files are being saved as user123:group123 but they need to be saved as root:group123. Is this even possible without having to give them sudo access to run chown?
Thanks
Robert

Hi,
Something funny is happening over here: when a regular user edits his cron-file (crontab -e) saves and exits vi the correct new cron-file gets installed and saved to disk.

sticky
STICKY(7) BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual STICKY(7)
NAME
sticky -- sticky text and append-only directories
DESCRIPTION
A special file mode, called the sticky bit (mode S_ISVTX), is used to indicate special treatment for directories. It is ignored for regular
files. See chmod(2) or the file <sys/stat.h> for an explanation of file modes.
STICKY DIRECTORIES
A directory whose `sticky bit' is set becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately, a directory in which the deletion of files is
restricted. A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and the
user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory, or the super-user. This feature is usefully applied to directories such as /tmp
which must be publicly writable but should deny users the license to arbitrarily delete or rename each others' files.
Any user may create a sticky directory. See chmod(1) for details about modifying file modes.
HISTORY
A sticky command appeared in Version 32V AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
Neither open(2) nor mkdir(2) will create a file with the sticky bit set.
