I've set up Kermit (using the Redhat rpm installation) on my Redhat 5.2
Linux machine.
Having spent some time getting it configured properly (with entries in the
relevant init files to configure the modem etc) as root, I logged on as
another user and tried to use it.
I got errors in the startup of kermit, when it tried to SET LINE
/dev/modem - I got "permission denied" - the same thing happened when I
issued the command manually.
I'm able to use minicom to communicate through the same modem using this
non-root user, so I'm not sure what the permission denied problem is.
Any ideas anyone?
