study the following... s bit is what you want:

consider the function passwd...allows the user to alter a file owned by root

 How does one set the sticky bit and set UID bits with chmod?

           octal digit>      1            2           3           4 
     octal value 

            4             set UID         r           r           r 

            2             set GID         w           w           w 

            1             sticky bit      x           x           x 



r   read 
w   write 
x   execute 
s   set UID or set GID 
t   set sticky bit 

chmod u+st  filename 
chmod -R does down the tree
