@gull04....Yes, you're correct. However, from the OP post, I think we're trying to strip out the sticky bit, not remove the file. Removal of the file means modifying the directory above (need right to) whereas stripping the sticky bit is a modification of that file's inode only.

MKFILE(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 MKFILE(8)

NAME
mkfile - create a file SYNOPSIS
mkfile [ -nv ] size[b|k|m|g] filename ... DESCRIPTION
mkfile creates one or more files that are suitable for use as NFS-mounted swap areas. The sticky bit is set, and the file is padded with zeroes by default. Non-root users must set the sticky bit using chmod(1). The default size unit is bytes, but the following suffixes may be used to multiply by the given factor: b (512), k (1024), m (1048576), and g (1073741824). OPTIONS
-n Create an empty filename. The size is noted, but disk blocks aren't allocated until data is written to them. -v Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files. WARNING
If a client's swap file is removed and recreated, it must be re-exported before the client will be able to access it. This action may only be done when the client is not running. SEE ALSO
chmod(2), stat(2), exportfs(8), sticky(8) 1 September 1997 MKFILE(8)
