>Description:

	It seems that a setuid bit in shell scripts is not
	honored. This may be necessary to avoid security lecks.
	This is not mentioned explicitly in execve(2). I tried
	even set setuid in /bin/sh, temporarily.
	I don't know whether this is a bug or feature.
	If it is a feature, then the example slip.login
	and the manual page sliplogin(8)
	are probably incorrect, as the process does not
	work as described.
