    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.5
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/test 29
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00172 This test may fail on implementations because chmod uses the undefined mode bit 01000 (sticky bit).
    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because chmod uses the undefined
    mode bit 01000 (sticky bit).

    Test assertion 29 contains the following code:

    chmod 07775 file_29_in
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    SetResult $TET_UNRESOLVED "Command failed: 'chmod 07775 file_29_in'"
    return
    fi

    The use of mode 07775 is not supported by the XPG4 V2 XCU spec. Historically
    the use of mode 01000 is to set the sticky bit. This mode is not discussed
    in the XPG4 or POSIX specs. On our implementation, its use is restricted
    to the root user. Hence, the failure above, when the VSC user attempts
    to chmod 07775.
