Hi,
I have built C-Kermit 5A(190) on a Sun Sparc-20 Solaris 2.4 machine.
It runs fine but if I use it for dial-out it messes up the port monitor
(Solaris getty-like process). Looking through the '.bwr' files I saw
this problem mentioned with a fix that didn't appeal to me too much. The
fix involves killing off the port monitor and starting a new one every
time you run Kermit. Aliasing kermit to a script that runs setuid root to
reset the port...
Does anyone have a fix for whatever Kermit is doing to the port
monitor? The symptom is this: After completing a dial-out call with
kermit the port monitor will not respond to incoming calls. The modem
will still answer but the port monitor will not prompt for a login.
This does not happen when you use tip for dialout. But tip is a little
too hard core for some of our users :-) so I'm hoping for a kermit
solution...
Thanks,
