How do I use the Sticky Bit ? 1

How do I use the Sticky bit for example I want to change the permissions on this file to be drwxr-sr-- How do i get the "s" into the other group or ownergroup ?
Technically, I don't believe this is a sticky bit. It's a set gid, set. I believe drwxrwxrwt ( the t ) would be "sticky"
anyway....
chmod g+s ( group )
Remember their is a difference between rwS and rws as well. the lowercase s is executable.

A sticky bit would have 't' at the end (e.g., rwxrwxrwxt ).
The sticky bit on a directory would let a user remove only their files they own. A sticky bit on a file tells the OS that it will be executed frequently, and thus, is kept in swap, to reduce the time to execute.
