Hi, I believe the sticky bit (which should show a "t" when you do a ls -l ) will stop other users from deleting the creators file. This is used often on a /tmp directory that has "write" access to lots of users. I believe that the "s" bit is used in the "UID" and "GID" so that any file created under it, will keep its permissions.
Check out www.linuxdoc.org, they explain it better.....
