[olug] Foxtrot does *nix

[Chris Garrity]

To "chmod 700 *", "chmod go-rwx *", or "chmod u+rwx *" --- that's the 
real question. I'd guess the first would be the least ambiguous, being 
that its starting start (the permissions mode on affected files) is 
irrevelant; unlike the last two, where the resultant final state *is* 
dependent upon the starting state (the permissions mode) or the affected 
files.

Now could some please explain to me the practical value of "sticky 
bits?" Ain't there something in their group memembership that they're 
all sticky about?
