Subject:   Permission problems on a suiddir

I have a directory /usr/mud which is suid.  I mount /usr w/ the suiddir
option and have it compiled in the kernel which is great.  The directory
/usr/mud is owned by mud:mudadmin.

The user mud is nologin and is used as the process owner of the bin that
runs, user mud also only has access to files within the directory /usr/mud.

I have another user who is part of the group mudadmin...all files created in
/usr/mud area -rw-rw-r-- but for some reason when my user recompiles the
binary from the source code it comes out -rw-rw-r--, even though the group
mudadmin has write permissions to the binary file he is unable to do a chmod
g+x or u+x so it can be executed.

How do I allow him to do this without giving him anytype of special access
to the system, I only want him to be able to do this within the /usr/mud
directory.

I'm not subscribed to the list at work so a reply to my email would be
appreciated.

Thank You
