bsh & ksh running setuid

[David Fricker]

FYI: under AIXv3.1 release 3003, bsh & ksh do NOT ignore the
setuid bits when running a script.  The documentation (InfoExplorer)
says that bsh, ksh, & csh all ignore the setuid bits when they
run a script.  I called IBM Software Defect Support about this and
they confirmed that this is a bug.  They also said that it is fixed
under release 3005.

So, if you want scripts to run setuid and you have release 3003, you
may want to save a copy of the bsh & ksh binaries.
