A directory with no 'x' permission is not searchable; 'r' only lets someone see the names of the things in the directory, 'x' (search) lets them access it. So with a directory you almost always want to grant 'x' if you grant any access. You don't need to give 'r', but it is usual. So 'r-x' and '--x' are sensible, 'r--' is usually not sensible. | #chmod go+t /mnt You just want "+t" here. There is no such thing as "sticky bit for group" or "sticky bit for other".

No. The permissions on /mnt apply to the directory as a whole, not on a per-name basis. If you want per-name control the best you can do is make subdirectories and grant different accesses to those. Which is what home directories effectively are, if you would like a similar arrangement.
