Executing Esql-C pgm

Hi: I have run into an unusual problem that I could use some help with. We are executing an Esql-C program on our Sun Sparc 2000 server (OS 2.5.1) from an informix stored procedure (Online 7.20). This Esql-C program contains code that issues commands on a remote Sun server using rsh. For these commands to work we must set the permission on the executable of to the "setuid" bit (ie "rwsrwxrwx" pgm_name). But when the stored procedure that calls the esql-c program is run, the system call fails with -668 sqlcode,-172 isam error. When we set the permission to "rwxrwxrwx" the esql-c program runs but the "rsh" commands fail. I would appreciate any advice on this problem. By the way the reason we run this esql-c program from a stored procedure is that in production our client applications need to run it, so we call the stored procedure from the Powerbuilder application.
