I'm running solaris-9 on a sun blade100.
Seems like I cannot get kermit to work unless I
become root.
Any idea why? In fact, have you even *heard* of
such a thing?
(Is the same kermit, C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96, for Solaris 2.x,
even the physically-same binary, that I had been using on the sparc5
under solaris-7.)
Thanks,
David
PS: yes, I should be using a newer kermit, but shouldn't
this old one work identically in both cases?
