What controls "allowed" suid programs?

I have a small server up and running with SuSE 6.4. I wrote a Perl script
that needs to be run suid in /usr/local/bin by a few trusted users, but I keep
getting the following error:

trusted@foo> /usr/local/bin/foobar.pl
Can't do setuid

First of all, what's generating that particular message? I had run the
harden_suse script (with the suggested "server" settings), and have looked over
the /etc/undo_harden_suse script as well, but I can figure out what's
generating that error message, and what controls which suid programs are
allowed to run.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
