Nope. If one sets the sticky bit on a directory, only the owner
of a file inside that dir can delete the file. E. g.
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 3072 Jan 22 20:52 tmp/
With these permissions every user could create and delete files
in /tmp (even if he's not the owner).
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 3072 Jan 22 20:52 tmp/
Now everybody can still create files, but only remove his own
stuff.
Setting the sticky bit on files has no effect (at least in
Linux).
Ciao,
Stefan
