[CentOS] difference between stickybit SUID and SGID

[Silviu Hutanu]

Here are my personal notes regarding these special perms :

 Octal perm : 4000 (chmod +s )  SUID Other users execute this file as owner
of file
 Octal perm: 2000  (chmod +g )  GUID Other users execute this as group of
the file/dir  (It can be applyied to directories )
 Ocatl perm: 1000    Sticky bit (Ensuring that users cannot delete other
users files in a directory)

SUID : chmod u+s file
GUID: chmod u+g dir
Sticky bit: chmod u+f file/dir


 Best regards,

Silviu Hutanu
