I have an application that a group of us are working on, it's under cvs,
and as soon as someone does a commit I want the updated files to be
copied to a certain globally accessible directory, so that people
immediately get the updated tool that we are working on.  Rather than
create some new group for the three or four of us we though we could
just have me be the owner of the files in this global directory and use
a script that is run setuid as me.  That way whoever does a commit
should have no problem overwriting the files in that global dir, but the
only way for anyone to overwrite those files is by doing a commit.  

The problem is, the setuid script doesn't seem to have the necessary
permissions if run on a Redhat box, just if run on an HP-UX box.  Is
there a way to turn setuid off and on (I'm thinking it's off on the
linux box for some reason)?  How do I fix it?  Or is there a Better Way
to do what I'm trying to do here?

Thanks,

Bryan
