[olug] share a folder rw, but not deletable?

[Brian Wiese]

Ok, I just must be going blind or stupid... or possibly just simply
getting things mixed up.  I was referring to the "i" attribute (chattr) as
a sticky bit when in fact it is not, but rather the "immutable" attribute.
 As Thom pointed out on the thread, the "t" permission (chmod), or "sticky
bit", on the file is probably what I was really looking for... as
directories like /tmp are set with a sticky bit so everyone may read/write
to the dir but not delete the dir itself.

thanks for all the insights and discussions guys...
