Can someone out there tell me about sticky bits?
We have here a fairly large program (a machine simulator) that many
students are required to run.  We also have have a couple of large
statisitcs programs with the characteristic of causing large
amounts of swapping.
Are these appropriate instances in which on should use the sticky bit?
And what are the implications?
