S = Stick with/out execute (still wondering the use :-))
s = Stick with execute
Ok, what the Stick bit does is the following.
On a program with the owner stick bit set, when a
program is executed (no matter what UID you have), it will run with the
uid of the owner. Same for group.
On a directory, files will be created with the UID (or
GID, if Group Stick bit) of the directory owner.
Quite simple, and quite useful.
