Comment from Alan Cox: 

#1 doesn't help on fundamentally non setuid using systems (or AFS)
#2 doesn't fix the problem

A combination of #1 and a .cf configured policy is needed. The suid 
helper itself is pretty trivial

	#define FIXED_PATH	wherever

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		exit(chown(FIXED_PATH, 0, 0) ? errno: 0);
	}

(Avoid things like error messages because then you get into all
 the close(1); close(2) type tricks with older systems)
