Small Doc-Error about "sticky bits"

IMHO the file http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html 
talks about "sticky bits" but it should call them SGID-bit.
drwxrws--- is SGID and has the desired efect of setting the Groups 
Ownership on newly created files. 
drwxrwxrwt is the sticky-bit and allows only the owner of a file to modify 
it.

The examples given in this FAQ are correct and like the whole nagios 
documentaion its brilliant - thanks by the way, to the ones who wrote it!
HTH Ingo.
