First off, chown'ing them root.root does not make them suid, that requires
chmod 4xxx or 2xxx (the first is suid, the second is sgid). I would
strongly suggest you now do this. Instead download either the sudo or (my
preference) super package and use them instead since they have much more
control and security than simply setting the scripts suid.
good luck
