[foxboro] autologoff on Solaris 8 machines.

I'm trying to set up the sutologoff package for remote users
on a new node. This node is version 7.11, which of course means
Solaris 8.

Our remote users log in as non root users. I'm having a problem
that I think I remeber being able too solve on older systems 
fairly simply. 

The problem is, since the non root users don't have permission
to (sucesfully) run pref commands, the auologoff fails to
either warn, or log off the user. I recall being able to set
the ste user ID (SUID) bit on the autologoff executable on older
Solaris 2.5 systems, and have the shell scripts called with the 
enhanced permissions, At least that's my recolection. This does 
work on Solaris 8 systems. Ehe shell scripts still get called with
as the non root user. Is my memory about Solaris 2.5 correct?
Is there a way to make this work on Soalris 8 based systems?

I'm considering using sudo to acomplish this, if there is not 
a simpler way.
