[Sheflug] SUID bit - how do I set it?

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

 I'm installing GNUPG instead of PGP after my reinstall...it needs to be
run with the SUID bit set for security.

 How do I set it?

 I'm assuming I'll be using the first digit of a 4 digit chmod (2644,
1644) - but so far I've only figured out how to use a 3 digit (644, 666,
777 etc).

 What do the various values of a 4 digit file permission do?

 Baz.
