I believe suid on scripts is not implemented because scripts are not
actualy started by the kernel, but by a shell, say /bin/sh.

rcmd localhost -l root <command>
will ask you for root's password, unless root has a .rhosts file
explicitly allowing everyone access to the root account... 

I think one should compile a tiny c program that runs suid and
exec()'s the script.
Using an exec() variant that accepts scripts that is.
