setperms/SuSE 10/SUID

[Jay R. Ashworth]

I have the 3-Oct-2000 version of setperms in this 5.0.14 install which
we've just moved from SuSE 9.1 to 10.2, and for some reason -- we've
seen this on other linux installs, but I don't have any details handy
-- setperms gets everything right except the SUID bits.

1) I'm running as root.
2) chmod 4755 /appl/fp/dclerk run by hand works.
3) There is no #3.
4) Bruce.

Is this a known problem?  Is there a known solution?  Have I *already*
figured it out myself, and I don't remember?  And what about Naomi?

I've already set dclerk and dreport manually so they can get work done,
but fixing setperms seems indicated.

Cheers,
