Say there is a file 'notmine' in /tmp. I try: rm notmine rm: notmine not removed -------- I try: touch x mv x notmine rm notmine Bingo. 'notmine' has gone. Is this the way the sticky bit is supposed to work? (Umax 4.3 with NFS). =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
