We have a captive account on VMS that runs C-Kermit 8.0.201.
The login.com is as follows
$ SET DEFAULT DEVICE:[DIRECTORY]
$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
$ KERMIT "-H" "-E" "-q" "-x"
$ EXIT
SYS$LOGIN:CKERMIT.INI contains the following
log transactions sys$login:ckermit.log append
set server idle 120
set transaction-log brief
disable assign
disable cd
disable delete
disable directory
enable get
disable host
disable mail
disable rename
disable retrieve
disable send
disable set
disable space
disable type
disable who
Obviously the only thing we want the use to do is use the GET command !!
The problem is, the user is receiving the error "insufficient privilege or file
protection violation". Deleting CKERMIT.INI eliminates this problem.
Why ?
