Little problem with rights on a script



Hi folks, 

on debian/testing I am running into a rights problem with a little script.

The script is called "sakis3g" and it is intended to dial out into a UMTS-
connection. 

The script should be run as root, but it also can be run as a normal user, who 
is in group "dip". (In the manual it is called "dig", but this is probably a 
typo. There is no group "dig" on debian).

Starting as root is working well. But when starting as a normal user (who is 
in group "dip") when the modem is inistializing, and it is calling the ppp-
demon, then the system hangs, cause of the lack of rights.

The script settings are >      rwsr-xr-- root:dip
and as far as I know, it should start with the rights of root.

What my failure? What do I do wrong? Where do I think wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Best regards

Hans
