in thread permisson prob in suid script

Thanks for your interest in my problem...I am actually blocked...and now facing other problem..after your reply i tried to print the $< and $> varaibles, but surprise, they are both the same..i dont understand, the suid bit is set and the real user id must be different than the effective user id. And i did run the script as a third user. Thanks for your response in Advance!!

    Can you look at the file permissions? You should see something like: 

      % ls -l file
  -rwsr-xr-x  owner group ... file

    [download]
    And if you don't see that, you can achieve with the following command, run as root: 
      % chmod 6755 file

    [download]
