HP-UX 11.31 Cannot change group sticky bit on directory
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 96 Jan 8 12:49 UNIX_RELEASES
If I run:
chmod 2755 of chmod g+s the permissions stay the same.
Any ideas?
FYI:
HP-UX system B.11.31 U ia64 0019355631 unlimited-user license

The only thought I had was if UNIX_RELEASES was a soft link, but the provided paste does not seem to look that way.
Create some directories somewhere else, like in /tmp, and see if there is a problem there, it may help isolate the issue.

I check the forums, but since this is not a link, I though I would ask.

Re: HP-UX 11.31 Cannot change group sticky bit on directory
If you are going to set the s bit on a directory and you are not root, you better be the owner and group owner of the directory.
Turns out I was not the group owner of the directory. The funny part is that the OS never returned an error message.
Thanks to those that read my post even more to those that replied.

Re: HP-UX 11.31 Cannot change group sticky bit on directory
A real shell gives an error:
$ chmod g+s /var/tmp
chmod: can't change /var/tmp: Not owner
