But according to the man page of chmod I shouldn't be able to do this:
Interesting. I notice that after a `chown root:root /tmp/test', the file /tmp/test/test cannot be removed any more by the normal user.
So, I suppose the fact that mick can remove the file /tmp/test/test is related to the fact that /tmp/test is owned by mick (or 'joostje' in my case).
There is some logic to it, because if the kernel didn't allow mick to remove /tmp/test/test, mick could simply first run
chmod u-t /tmp/test
and then repeat the rm /tmp/test/test successfully.
