sticky bit

[Jeffrey Juliano]

cygwin b20.1; winNT; ntea is not set

I am trying to run an app that is failing, I think, because /tmp does
not have the sticky bit set.  I didn't find the word "sticky" anywhere
in the FAQ, manual, or mailing list archives.

Is setting the sticky bit something that you can do with cygwin?  I
imagine that setting ntea will make it possible?  Is that true?

I'm hesitant to try without asking first.  I regularly access megabytes
of filespace that lives on unix AFS fileservers.  Is there a way to set
ntea stuff only for my NTFS partitions?  I don't want to grow a huge
attributes file for these AFS partitions.

What happens if I acces NFS partitions using an NT NFS client?  does
ntea grow a large file in this scenerio?

thanks,

-jeff
