under the user...

only read permision .....It will store all uaers encrypted
password..but users can still change their passwprd using
#passwd command ,,,bcz set uid bit is set for this file,,,
#ls -l /etc/passwd====it will show -wr--------s
#chmod u+s dirname
Stickybit:If it is set on a directory only the owner of a
file can delate the file.......only 4 directories...

delete file....but 2 prevent users from deleting each
others file...
#chmod o+t dirname....
