+Subject: [PATCH] Copy sticky & setgid bits from directory to base.img, and
+ into appliance.
+
+These bits are copied from the original directory mode (from the RPM)
+to the base.img, and from there into the appliance.
+
+           S_ISGID    0002000   set-group-ID bit (see below)
+           S_ISVTX    0001000   sticky bit (see below)
+
+These bits have special significance for some directories (eg. /tmp).
