It is a dialed connection, and we are using 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96 for SCO Open
Server R5 according to the message that comes up when Kermit is started from
the system prompt. We have many accounts using this same set up and working
fine. As stated before, the only difference (besides data <g>) between the set
ups is that this account is set up with the drive segmented off into a number
of partitions and our application does not reside on the root partition, it is
in a directory that is what the hardware people are calling a virtual link to
where the application really is. (Our application depends on it residing in a
particular directory, although that is changing with the next release)
I hope this information will allow you to help me with the question of getting
setuid and setgid (setgrp?) errors. These errors only happen if we execute
Kermit from our application, and only on this particular system. If you could
tell me what causes Kermit to execute these functions, then I might know what
we can do to stop them from being called. It seems that they are not called if
we run it from the command line. (no errors anyway, and Kermit has only
rwxrwxrwx permissions, no rws permissions, although we tried setting the
permissions to rwsrwsrwx and it made no difference)
Oh yes, we are supplied a binary and our vendor says that they do not have the
source either, so I quess it was acquired in binary format, not source.
Thanks for the reply.
