SUID - as in 'chmod 4xxx /some/directory' has no effect.
SGID - as in 'chmod 2xxx /some/directory' will change the _GROUP_ ownership
of files created in that directory to that of the group owner of the directory.
Sticky Bit as in 'chmod 1xxx /some/directory' will prevent users OTHER THAN
the owner or root from deleting files in that directory.
