FYI, the "s" attribute is officially called the sticky bit, in case
you were looking for more information. Examples of programs making use
of the sticky bit are su/sudo (they need root privileges to switch
effective UID), mount (for user-mountable filesystems), passwd (to
make system calls that allow changing passwords) and a few others.
