The fact you're asking a question about setuid suggests you don't understand enough to be able to use it safely. Seriously, never use setuid for anything until you have a thorough understanding of its internals (userspace and kernel) and ld-linux, capabilities, process contexts, acls, selinux etc. It's just too easy to make your system insecure because of something you didn't even realise you had to consider! (I could tell you some funny stories...) Go back to the beginning and describe the original problem you are trying to solve and the constraints you have and ask for advice about ways to achieve it.
