Do you pwn it with a remote tcp connection?
Because in ssh, the binary doesn’t have the sticky bit.

It is not the same.

When you connect over SSH the challenge binary doesn’t have the sticky bit set whereas when you directly connect over TCP to challenge03.root-me.org:56577 (from the full description of the challenge) then a wrapper script is invoked with the sticky bit correctly set.
