So... is it correct ?
If you start with
drwx------ /home/edward
the commands
chmod g+rwx /home/edward
chmod +t /home/edward
or
chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=t /home/edward
or
chmod 1770 /home/edward
will all give you the same result:
drwxrwx---T /home/edward
So.. only chmod 1770 /home/edward
It's your choice. The permission bits are the same any way you say it,
but it is best to use the way that you understand and do an 'ls -ld' on
the directory after the chmod to be sure it is right. Remember, the
object of this is to set the directory owner/modes so that the user can
still create/remove his own files but can't remove/replace certain files
that you will chown to root.
