Sorry if I missed someone.

Resolution

----------

1. Solaris does not allow SetUID for C-Shell scripts.

2. Use a C program, that is setuid to root, that calls the script.

(See example below)

3. Use "sudo" to call the program.

(see http://www.courtesan.com/courtesan/products/sudo)

4. Use ksh instead of csh. (That seemed to work also)

I decided to use "sudo" which worked great.

Thanks again for all the help!!

Thanks, Mark

main ()

begin_program

char buffer[256];

strcpy ( buffer, "/myscript" );

system ( buffer );

end_program
