If I understood your problem correctly, you don't actually want to set=20
sticky bit on the root directory, but suid - so the chmod would be=20
like

chmod 4xxx mydir

In FreeBSD suid-bitted directory will make all the subdirs to inherit=20
the owner.

Sticky bit causes bit different behaviour - see sticky (8) and=20
chmod(1)

-Reko=20
