Dear admins,

I have two questions about suid.

1)
I want to clean up as much as posible suid bits. binary's as lvcreate and
lvdisplay as well as much much much more binary's of the HP-UX OS do have
the suid bit on.

Can someone tell me from what binary's the suid can be removed save?

2)
To test suid is created a short script that echo's something into a file in
my directory. The script is called sle.sh
================================
while true
do
sleep 5
echo sleeping >>/home/fkara/fatih

done
================================

The script is owned by fkara and has the suid bit on.
If I walsemge run's the script this is the output:
================================
./sle.sh[4]: /home/fkara/fatih: cannot create
./sle.sh[4]: /home/fkara/fatih: cannot create
================================
32 drwxrwxrwx 16 fkara users 8192 Feb 21 08:14 ./
-rwsr-xr-x 1 fkara users 65 Feb 21 08:14 sle.sh*
-rw------- 1 fkara users 0 Feb 21 08:14 fatih

Why dous this error appear?
