ok, can I get the two year old explanation?  How would I make it setuid?

[root logs]# ls -l /usr/cgiwrap/
total 172
-rwsr-xr-x   4 root     root        42102 Jun 28  2000 cgiwrap
-rwsr-xr-x   4 root     root        42102 Jun 28  2000 cgiwrapd
-rwsr-xr-x   4 root     root        42102 Jun 28  2000 nph-cgiwrap
-rwsr-xr-x   4 root     root        42102 Jun 28  2000 nph-cgiwrapd

this is how it should be, look at the "s". You could recreate these
permissions by using
chomd u=rwx+s,go=rx FILE
(put the real filename in stead of FILE).

BUT I would be prudent about it. Why are they not SUID in the first place,
they should be on a freshly installed system. So, what happened to them. Are
you sure the are the original files?

go to /usr/cgiwrap
do a:

ls -i

and make sure those 4 files have the same i-node number (the number before
the permissions)

do a:

file cgiwrap

it should give something like:
cgiwrap: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

If you think everything is ok, you could try and make them setuid
