Whoever wrote the report you attached failed to understand Unix
permissions. You know:
- You can delete files you does not own if you have write
permissions to the containing directory and either you own
the directory or the directory lacks the +t bit.
- You can't delete files you own if you lack write permission
for the containing directory (even if you own it, unless
you're root).
- etc...
Cheers,
Nico
