The "superuser" part isn't something I recall.  I'm not using Linux
anymore, but the problem was that the .rpm for ckermit 6.0, available
from columbia.edu, addressed terminfo libraries that were moved.


The beta 7.0 kermit fixes that, but you have to compile your own.
The old rpm might work if you
cd /usr/share
ln -s terminfo ../lib

http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html for the new one.
