Well, a compiled binary (and the source) of C-Kermit 5A(179?) is in
/usr/othersrc/public, if you installed the etcdist.
Since this binary uses /var/spool/uucp instead of /var/spool/lock for
lockfiles (and the installed UUCP wants /var/spool/lock), I decided to
recompile kermit with the correct directory.
I fetched the latest version from watsun.cc.columbia.edu (in
kermit/bin/ckuNNN.tar.Z, NNN being 183 when I last looked).
I tried the 386bsd target in the supplied Makefile, and it failed.
When looking through the Makefile for other BSD targets, I stumbled across
entries for 4.4BSD, with comments indicating that these might be appropriate
for NET/2 derived systems.
I used the target 'bsd44c' (with curses for the file transfer display).
The only thing to change (as far as I remember... my system is at home)
is the format and location of the lock files. Kermit defines SVR4 when BSD44
is defined, so by default SVR4-style lock files are used. I put the
relevant code in an '#ifndef __386BSD__', and now it works.
