I have an unusual problem with Kermit on Linux. I recently moved my
Linux installation to another hard drive. I used tar to do the copying
to maintain the file permissions and links. Obviously I have messed
something up becuase Kermit will not work for any users. (It will work
under the root ID). I have checked that kermit is installed guid uucp
and /usr/spool/uucp is writable by group uucp. I even sued to uucp to
check that uucp can write the lock file.
The error messages are as follows:
/home/roy$ kermit
Error opening /dev/tty
congm: Permission denied
/usr/spool/uucp: permission denied
Sorry, access to lock denied: /dev/cua1
?Sorry, you must SET LINE first
C-Kermit 5a(188), 23 Nov 92, POSIX
TIA for any assistance.
