Hi
I also have same type of issue . I am trying to set owners uid in AIX using chmod 4754 but it does not work . It seems that AIX just ignores set uid thing .
The owner and a user in the group which executes the scripts need to be different . I do not want other user or even users in the group to read certain files (password files etc) .They are used to connect to oracle.
Other reason is that the scripts write to lots of directories on which these other users do not have privileges.
What is the alternate solution. There are 100s of scripts which can not be altered .
Regards
Clifford.

FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)					       AFS Command Reference					       FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)

NAME
fs_getcellstatus - Reports whether setuid programs are honored in a cell SYNOPSIS
fs getcellstatus -cell <cell name>+ [-help] fs getce -c <cell name>+ [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs getcellstatus command reports whether the Cache Manager allows programs fetched from each specified cell to run with setuid permission. To set a cell's setuid status, use the fs setcell command; fs_setcell(1) fully describes how AFS treats setuid programs. OPTIONS
-cell <cell name>+ Names each cell for which to report setuid status. Provide the fully qualified domain name, or a shortened form that disambiguates it from the other cells listed in the local /etc/openafs/CellServDB file. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The output reports one of the following two values as appropriate: Cell <cell> status: setuid allowed Cell <cell> status: no setuid allowed EXAMPLES
The following example indicates that programs from the cell "abc.com" are not allowed to run with setuid permission. % fs getcellstatus abc.com Cell abc.com status: no setuid allowed PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
