Can someone please explain special permissions such as SUID, Sgid, and the Sticky bit and how to apply them using the octal form?

Don Prezet covers Sticky bits but I did hear not him discuss SUID and Sgid.

Hey @Daniel-Engelkes

Here's a great resource that explains each and also shows you how to set them.

Hope that helps.
