- Note: the permissions really should be 1777, to set the sticky bit so that
- users can only delete files that belong to them. Otherwise, if you have write
- permission on the directory, you can delete any of the files in it regardless
- of who owns them.
-
- Use this mode on any directory where everyone needs to be able to write, but
- you want some measure of control over file access.
