Hi Walter,

Venus only uses the directory ACL's to evaluate access to files, and not
the modeflags, so the `sticky' flag on the directory is ignored as well.
There was a whole discussion about this subject around the end of april
this year (subject: group permission). Ofcourse nobody implemented
either the using the owner+modeflags/sticky bit or sticky ACL ideas.

So for now a shared directory is truly `shared', hoping that the users
are not hostile towards each other.
