This provides create capability and allows users to delete /their own/ files, but not overwrite or delete files owned by others. This is definitely important in /tmp (and /var/tmp, /usr/tmp if they exist). .. which brings me to a related question. What are the correct permissions for /var/mail (0755 as my newly installed FreeBSD system has them?) ? Various OS's and UA's/mailers do this slightly differently.
