The setuid and setgid bits are not the sticky bit. You set
the sticky bit of a directory as follows:
chmod 1777 dirname
Here "777" are the permission bits, and "1" is the setsticky bit.
In the past, Unix sysads set the sticky bit of an executable
so that when the program finishes executing, it is kept in ram
(sticky) so that when it is invoked subsequently, it need not be
reloaded from disk, since it is already in ram. But this is the
standard behavior in most modern Unix systems, including Linux.
So now the setsticky bit has acquired a new meaning. It is now
given to a directory with permissions 777 (readable, writable and
enterable by the world), so that only the owner of a file in this
directory can modify (write to) the file, even if the directory
is writable by the world.
