s bit on owner permission for dir



Hi,
I'm a little confused on the what
the s bit does for the owner of a directory.
For example

drwsr-sr--    joe       staff     /var/www

I understand that the s bit on the group permission
would make all new files and directories
under /var/www have equal group ownership to /var/www
but the s bit on the ownership does what?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
