setuid query

2 Nov 2000

      I have a strange problem that occurs only on SuSE, but not on RedHat.

We have a java application that runs setuid.  In order for this to work, the
following scenario is followed :

script1    run by user, this then calls the jre and the first part of the
java application, which then calls prog1
prog1     has setuid and setgid - this then calls script 2 (usually as the
owner of this program)
script2    on all other systems, gets executed in setuid mode (ie as owner
of prog1)

On our SuSE system, script2 is not executed with setuid, we have managed to
drop out somehow.

Now, the id for the owner of the program is 500, group is 101, so this
should be above any "setuid limit".

I have exactly the same user/group id definitions on my RedHat box and do
NOT get this problem.

Any ideas ?
