Bug 1024: chmod() should be allowed to ignore S_ISVTX Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1024
This item is tagged for TC3-2008
An interpretation is required.
Interpretation response
The standard states the requirements for chmod(), and conforming
implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been
raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor.
Rationale:
Existing practice on some systems is to ignore S_ISVTX for non-directory
files in non-privileged processes.
Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
Change lines 22352–22353 from:
Additional implementation-defined restrictions may cause the
S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits in mode to be ignored.
to:
Additional implementation-defined restrictions may cause the
S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits in mode to be ignored, [XSI]and may
cause the S_ISVTX bit in mode to be ignored for non-directory
