Setuid in rh9?

[Drew Weaver]

Howdy, I am finally replacing a very old Redhat 6.2 box with a brand new shiny dell 2650 and redhat 9, the issue is i have some older perl scripts, and they work great on Redhat 6.2, heck they even work great on Redhat 9 assuming that I am running the script as root, when i chown +s this file and then try and run it as user nobody it says 'Can't do setuid'.   it worked fine on 6.2   any clue? -Drew
