Yes, everything I'm doing is with NFS mounted file systems. I think what Andrew said about Linux magically turning off setuid stuff is what is going on, because without changing a thing and running the script (from my nfs mounted home dir where it copies stuff to my nfs mounted home dir) in HP-UX works, in Linux doesn't work. I just found a couple other references telling me why I shouldn't use setuid scripts and why I can't even if I wanted to on a Linux system. I think the group option is what we are going to have to go with, even though we are all already a member of about 10 other groups...
