Just in case if you change the permissions of the file to execute later, it is going to appear as small "s".

Capital "S" indicates setuid/gid bit without execute permission and lowercase "s" indicates setgid with execute permissions.

It is going to be

chmod 4755 your_file

I don't like to play points policeman, but please be sure to allocate points to the people who assist you. They do so using their own time and resources.

Michael,

I normally wouldn't chime in on something like this, but since I just looked at Andy's (Cheung's) stats and found that he has only given points to 5/100 responses to his questions, I think an explanation of the point relavence thing might be in order.

Since you seem to hold a much higher standing in the forum than I, would you do the honors?

Buy a book on basic Unix adminstration, or read the man pages for chmod.

man

will generally give you more information than you will know what to do with.

man is your friend, use it!
