Assuming root privileges are unavailable to user A and user B. Suppose user A makes directory C with 777 permissions and user B makes a folder in C called D with 755 permissions. Suppose user B makes a file in D called "troll" with 755 permissions.
What is the correct behavior if user A tries to run rm -rf on directory D? What about on the "troll" file?
I have just tested this on my machine and user A cannot delete user B's files. Is this correct? If so, does that mean user B could make a very large file in A's directory that A could not delete and thus exceed A's quota?
