Almost. Also set +t (the 'sticky' bit). 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.
