We denote by Autsn(G) the set of all automorphisms that fix every subnormal subgroup of G setwise. In a recent paper [7] Robinson showed that the structure of Autsn(G) is quite restricted for a finite group G. Our aim in this paper is to show that more detailed information about the structure of Autsn(G) can be obtained by focussing on its action on F*(G), the generalised Fitting subgroup of G.
