the /tmp directory defaults with the save text permission; or the sticky
bit set. according to the du man pages...
If a directory has this bit set, then deletion in it is restricted.
An entry in a sticky directory can 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 superuser.
is there any reason why I can not remove this permission from the directory?
it is causing problems with some of our users.
thank you in advance.
