How to prevent deleted directories Arch Willingham 08-02-2005

 What permissions do I need to set on a directory so that a user can:

Read and write all files in the directory
AND
Can't delete the file or directory unless they are the owner of the file or
directory???

I.E. I want user A to be able to read and write to a file but not delete it
unless he created it. It seems like by virtue of being able to write to it,
it would prevent him from being blocked from deleting it.

Thanks!

Arch

 Assign the user group the write permission. Assign the creator owner group
the modify permission. Since the permissions are cumulative, this will give
the desired result.

I always wondered what the difference was between "write" and "modify"
permissions...thanks!
