Need Help Understanding setuid, setgid, & sticky bits

[Rubicone]

A comprehensive explanation with some examples would be highly beneficial. If all this is available on some website would appreciate the URL. TIA

Stickybits always confused me a little. Cant remember much about them right off, but I remember seeing a decent explanation at some point. Ill look around. setuid and setgid basically (from my understanding) allow the program to run as that uid or gid.

maybe.
Google is amazing isnt it?
