You are talking about C-Kermit? First, please consult our website:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
and in particular:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
to find out what the current version is and what other resources are
available, such as documentation.
Second, the short answer to your question (assuming your are talking about
C-Kermit in UNIX and not some other operating system) is: give the Kermit
binary the same owner, group, and permissions as cu.
However, this does not address the problem you are reporting, since
"kermit -s filename" does not require any special permissions unless (a) the
file you are trying to send is read-protected against you, or (b) your
C-Kermit initialization file (~/.kermrc) contains a SET LINE command.
For details, please consult the manual:
