Take this for example with the sendmail app:

r-sr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 581060 Jun 4 23:14 sendmail

Thanks!

try "chmod 6555 /usr/sbin/sendmail" - that will get you -r-sr-sr-x, which works for my sendmail.

You can also use chmod u+s foo.bar to make the file setuid and chmod g+s foo.bar to make it setgid.
