chmod should change those permissions fine. The numerical equivalent
of -rws--S--- would be 6700. An 's' or 'S' in place of the 'x' means
that that group's id bit is set. A capital 'S' means that the
executable permission is _not_ set, and a lowercase 's' means that it
is set.
So in this example, the file permissions look like -rw------- plus it
is set user id (suid) and set group id (sgid).
It is also possible to have a 't' or 'T' in place of the rightmost
dash or 'x'. That means that the file's sticky bit is set. A
lowercase 't' means that the file also has world executable
permissions, and an uppercase 'T' means it doesn't.
One more example: if you wanted to use chmod to give your file
-rwxr-xr-x and retain the suid and sgid bits, you would do this
$ chmod 6755 yourfile
Of course, you could also use chmod's symbolic permission scheme:
$ chmod go+rx yourfile
You can read more about that in the info docs. type
$ info 'file utilities'
and visit the 'File Permissions' node.
Sorry this was so long...probably about as clear as mud too. :)
