suid shell scripts



Simple question: are suid/sgid shell scripts allowed in Linux?

I thought they were, but after I tried writing one and running it, it
appears that they are not.

Is the elevated privilege dropped back to normal by bash, or by the
kernel itself?

(I am aware of the security issues, I just want to know the answer to
this).

Thanks.
