  Hi,
In Sun Solaris 10 Server we have noted that the sticky bit functionality is not working properly for us.Not sure about the reason or not sure whether we are making mistakes.

Example:- Assume, We have made  a file called " teststickybit " with permission of 777  under "/tmp " as user1..Now as user2 am able to delete the same file which is under /tmp/.. Where i should not be able to delete or rename the file.Because sthe public directoy like /tmp ( with sticky bit ) should allow others to create files , and only the owner or root can be delete the files where others can access the files depends on the given permission ( if it is full to every one others can have full access but they can't delete).

Howdy, Stranger!
