This depents on the permission of /var/spool/locks or of your kermit
binary. Else you ask one to open /var/spool/locks or to allow the kermit
binary to remove the lock file. On a Sun kermit should belong to daemon.
An ls -l returns the following:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon 1826816 Jan 2 12:28 /usr/local/bin/kermit
while the permission of the locks dir looks like:
drwxrwsr-x 2 daemon 512 Jan 13 13:01 /var/spool/locks
