That's because it's not.

s is equivalent to Sx.

-s

Bzzzzt ... wrong. The "sticky" bit is denoted by "chmod o+t ...", as in
"ls -l / | grep tmp".

Please don't continue to mis-inform others with the long-mistaken (and
mis-stated) belief that because the word "sticky"starts with the letter "s",
that it is denoted by same.

"man chmod" for further information.

This permission is really a hack or a mistake.

It means that the owner can access it , and all others
can cd to it and list it if they are NOT member of the group.
All new files and directories in it will be crated with the same
group.

The permission is 2705 and is maybe not possible to set for a normal user.
I can set it on linux but not on my Solaris 10 sparc.

Just do chmod 755, chmod g=rx or something and it will be fixed.
If you just do chmod g-s you have still a strange permission(705) that exclude
members of just that group, so check if that make sense , like if the group
is untrusted, sales, marketing or something.
