Did you read:

(Sections 10 and 11)?

: file directory denied." Sure enough, /var/lock is owner root, group lock,

: groups, so I get to choose whether I want to access the port or access the
: lock for the port. Unfortunately, both are required to allow access to the
: port.

Does cu work? If so, give Kermit the same group, owner, and permissions
as cu. If you don't have cu, then minicom or seyon.
If those don't work, something's amiss with your Linux setup. Or maybe you
have to install uucp before the lock directory and dialout devices are set
up rationally. (If you can call lockfiles rational, but I digress.)
