What exactly is Sticky Bit (t)
(yes i read the man page for chmod) and i did a basic search on the web.
but it never really went into any info on it.
the reason i ask is. when my systems receaves an email @ at certer user it has a specific mailer specified and that mailer writes stuff to /tmp well the orig. perms were rwxrwxrwt but i had changed it to 777 and i keept getting errors when i sent it mail. Can someone please explaine what the sticky bit is for?
