I think, to be more precise, anybody with write and execute access to |
| 8 |
a directory (whether the owner or not) can remove files from a |
| 9 |
directory, unless the directory's sticky bit is set. If the sticky |
| 10 |
bit is set then only the owner of the directory can remove files not |
| 11 |
owned by themselves (ie, for /tmp). I believe having write access to |
| 12 |
the file itself is also sufficient to delete it. |
