I'm new to kermit and need some help troubleshooting a lockfile problem.
Here's what I've got:
Redhat 8.0
C-Kermit 208
IBM thinkpad
Here's what I've done:
Downloaded ckermit, unzipped, untarred.
Changed makefile to specify /usr/share/man/man1 for man files.
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.
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
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.
Any ideas of things to try would be very very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Val
