The setuid is set on group level.


It has to be setuid to root because only root can send signal
to other user's processes. So it has to be owned by root and
should be something like -r-sr-x---

Oh, minor terminological pedanticism: when the set is on the group we call
it setgid to differentiate from setuid.
