: Redhat 8.0
: C-Kermit 208

: Here's what I've done:
: Downloaded ckermit, unzipped, untarred.
: Changed makefile to specify /usr/share/man/man1 for man files.

You don't need to change the makefile; see:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckuins.html#x5.4
: Compiled ckermit with "make redhat80" without error.
: Installed ckermit with "make install". Binaries and man file were
: installed, but the "certificates", "source code","text" files were not
: installed. I don't know if this is the root of the problem or not.
:
It's not.
: Ok, now if I run kermit and type "set line ttyS0" I get "Sorry, write access
: to the UUCP lockfile directory is denied."
:
: I read the install instructions (sections 10 and 11) and have tried the
: following:
: 1) Verified that /dev/ttyS0 (among others) is owned by root, in the uucp
: group
: [vschmidt@val-ldeo vschmidt]$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0
: crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Aug 30 2002 /dev/ttyS0
: 2) Changed the group ownership of the lock file to uucp and made sure it has
: rw permission. [This didn't fix the problem, so I later gave it world rw
: permissions as shown below which also didn't help.]
: [vschmidt@val-ldeo vschmidt]$ ls -l /var/
: drwxrwxrwx 4 root uucp 1024 Mar 27 08:45 lock
: 3. Changed the group permissions on the kermint binary to uucp and setgid
: with "chmod g+s kermit". [I later changed the ownership of kermit and setuid
: as well. This is shown below.]
: -rwsr-sr-x 1 uucp uucp 2120965 Mar 26 19:35: /usr/local/bin/kermit
:
Alternatively you could put yourself in the uucp group.
: After all that, if I run kermit and and type "set line ttyS0" I still get
: "Sorry, write access to the UUCP lockfile directory is denied."
:
: I have verified that the lock file is /var/lock with "show variables" within
: kermit. I'm completely stumped.
:
I grant you it seems pretty stumping. What are the permissions on /var?
Maybe if you log out and in again. Or reformat your disk and reinstall
Windows (just kidding).
: Any ideas of things to try would be very very much appreciated.
:
The steps listed in the installation instructions, Sections 10 and 11, work
for me and, as far as I know, for everybody else besides you.
