    If you chmod the directory o+t, then users can (permissions permitting)
    modify each other's files but not delete them.

    To make new files/dirs in the directory inherit the group's ownership
    then chmod g+s.

    To set both of the above do "chmod u+rwx,g+rws,o+rwt <your dir>".

    I don't know of a way to do what you ask for owner. We'd have a problem
    with that because it makes auditing difficult.

    Subject: How to set a "public" directory? (Everyone can add and modify
    theirown files)

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to setup a directory working like this:
    1. Everyone can add, modify, delete their own files or sub-dirs to this
    directory, and access other users' files if the permission is permited.
    2. If the permissions are not permited, one user cannot delete other's
    files

    I think it's same as the /tmp directory, so I tried to see what the
    param of /tmp is. ls -l, but nothing special..

    3. Besides that, I want this directory:
    Any user adds a file or sub-dir to this directory, the owner and group
    of that file become those ones of the parent directory.

    How to set this special directory?
