I thought that doing
chmod +t dir
should set the sticky bit on the directory.   At least this seems
to follow from the man page for chmod).   chmod +t dir does the 
expected thing on a solaris machine.    On a freebsd machine, 
chmod a+t dir works fine.   Is it a bug, or a wrong manpage, or 
am I missing something?

The system is 3.3-STABLE.
