Thats not right...
I can delete text.etc as a (newb I mean) normal user.

I tried:

Code:

sudo 'printf "..." >> text.etc'

boy it did not like that.

Code:

printf "..." | sudo tee .f.f

.f.f deletable by anyone

Code:

sudo sh -c 'printf "..." > .f.f'

nope

Code:

:~$ rm .f.f
rm: remove write-protected regular file .f.f? y

Code:

man tee
man sudo

Do I have to tell sudo to make a file as -u root or is that what it dose (usually?)
