help with permissions
Can anyone help explain the "s" in the below permissions example. I was reading about the "sticky bit" (t) but I am a little confused.
On file "test"
wolf% chmod 4777 test
wolf% ls -l
total 4
drwx------ 2 john staff 512 Mar 19 21:34 nsmail
-rwsrwxrwx 1 john staff 332 Apr 7 11:28 test
and/or
wolf% chmod 2777 test
wolf% ls -l
total 4
drwx------ 2 john staff 512 Mar 19 21:34 nsmail
-rwxrwsrwx 1 john staff 332 Apr 7 11:28 test
To Sum: please help explain the "#" in chmod (#)xxx file and it's affect.
Thanks.

doveadm-auth
DOVEADM-AUTH(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-AUTH(1) NAME
doveadm-auth - Test authentication for a user SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] auth [-a auth_socket_path] [-x auth_info] user [password] DESCRIPTION
The auth command can be used to test the authentication for the given user. OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options: -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: -a auth_socket_path This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alternative UNIX domain socket. By default doveadm(1) will use the socket /var/run/dovecot/auth-client. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. -x auth_info auth_info specifies additional conditions for the auth command. The auth_info option string has to be given as name=value pair. For multiple conditions the -x option could be supplied multiple times. Possible names for the auth_info are: service The service for which the authentication lookup should be tested. The value may be the name of a service, commonly used with Dovecot. For example: imap, pop3 or smtp. lip The local IP address (server) for the test. rip The remote IP address (client) for the test. lport The local port, e.g. 143 rport The remote port, e.g. 24567 ARGUMENTS
user The user's login name. Depending on the configuration, the login name may be for example jane or john@example.com. password Optionally the user's password. doveadm(1) will prompt for the password, if none was given. EXAMPLE
This example demonstrates an imap authentication test for user john, assuming the user is connected from the host with the IP address 192.0.2.143. doveadm auth -x service=imap -x rip=192.0.2.143 john johns_password passdb: john auth succeeded extra fields: user=john REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs, including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org>. Information about reporting bugs is avail- able at: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html SEE ALSO
