Can you gain root privileges if the suid program does not belong to root?

I had a question in my test which asked where suppose user B has a program with 's' bit set. Can user A run this program and gain root privileges in any way? I suppose not as the suid program run with privileges of owner and this program will run with B's privileges and not root.

vxsited

vxsited(1M)															       vxsited(1M)

NAME

       vxsited - site monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vx/bin/vxsited [mail_address...]

DESCRIPTION

       The vxsited daemon monitors Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) for disks being attached, and reattaches a detached site if the disks that belong
       to that site become accessible.

       vxsited analyzes the output of the vxnotify command, and waits for a failed disk to attach. When a disk is attached,  vxsited  attempts	to
       online  the disk, and tries to reattach the failed site. If a site is successfully reattached, vxsited starts recovery using vxrecover, and
       sends mail to root (by default) or to other specified users.

   Mail Notification
       By default, vxsited sends mail to root with information about the disk status of any attempts to reattach the site. To send mail  to  other
       users, add the user login name to the line that starts vxsited in the startup script, /etc/init.d/vxvm-recover, and reboot the system.  For
       example, if the line appears as:

	      nohup vxsited root &

       and you want mail also to be sent to user1 and user2, change the line to read:

	      nohup vxsited root user1 user2 &

       Alternatively, kill the vxsite process, and restart it from the command line with the required mail addresses as arguments.

       The mail notification has a format that is similar to the following:

	      Subject : Volume Manager site reattach on host hostname

	      Reattached site sitename in disk-group diskgroup

   Reattachment Procedure
       If a disk from a detached site becomes accessible again, vxsited checks whether the relocation daemon, vxrelocd, is running.   If  vxrelocd
       is  running,  vxsited attempts to reattach the site.  The relocation daemon can then try to relocate the failed subdisks using space on the
       available disks in the disk group.  If the failed objects are successfully relocated, vxrelocd changes the state of the	site  to  RECOVER,
       and  starts  the  recovery  of  volumes at the site.  When all the plexes at a site have been recovered, the plexes are put into the ACTIVE
       state, and the state of the site is set to ACTIVE.

       If vxrelocd is not running, vxsited only reattaches a site when all the disks from that site become accessible.	After  successfully  reat-
       taching a site, vxsited changes the site state to ACTIVE, and initiates recovery using vxrecover. When all the plexes from a site have been
       recovered, the plexes are put into the ACTIVE state, and the state of the site is set to ACTIVE.

       vxsited does not attempt to reattach a site that has been explicitly detached by an administrator.  The state OFFLINE is set for sites that
       have been detached by using the following command:

	      vxdg -g dg_name detachsite sitename

   Disabling vxsited
       If  you do not want a site to be recovered automatically, kill the vxsited daemon, and prevent it from restarting.  To kill the daemon, run
       the following command from the command line, and locate the process table entry for vxsited:

	      ps -ef

       Execute the command:

	      kill -9 PID

       Substitute the process ID of the vxsited process for PID.  To prevent vxsited from being  restarted,  comment  out  the	line  that  starts
       vxsited in the startup script /sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover.

FILES

       /sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover     The startup file for vxsited.
