setuid

[RPC WHQ UNIX Team]

How can I make permissions of a file like

---s--s--x 1 root root 114688 Oct 15 2003 sudo

Right now it is:

---x--x--x 1 root root 114688 Oct 15 2003 sudo.

I wanna change xxx to ssx.

chmod +s sudo

[Pete Randall]

"chmod u+s g+s sudo"

Whether this is a good idea or would interfere with the operation of sudo, I'm not sure.

chmod ug=s,o=sx sudo

Yet another way:

chmod 6111 sudo
