Complete 4 digit CHMOD

[hw_tph]

I'm just curious and going out on a limb here: I would too like 4-digit chmodding, since some of the applications I often run on servers require specific 4-digit permission flags.

An example: Pine, at least when running on x86/Linux, won't accept (0)777 (drwxrwxrwx) as permissions for /var/spool/mail - it wants 1777 (drwxrwxrwt) in order to function properly.

Now, when I usually do this I have to ssh to the host in case and do the chmodding from the command line.
