What is suid ?

[Akintayo Holder]

On numerous occasions I have seen references, telling me to set suid on
some executable to root. I believe this would let the executable work as
if it was started by root regardless of the user.

Now how do I set an executable to suid or whatever - there is no suid
command is there?
