permissions

I am getting this error:

sh: kermit: Execute permission denied.

on a K box running 11.0

How do I fix?

Well, what are the permissions on the kermit executable?

One of my 11.0 boxes looks like:

# ll $(whence kermit)
-r-sr-sr-x 1 bin daemon 720896 Dec 7 2000 /usr/bin/kermit*

If your permissions are not the same, you have a problem.

As root,
chown bin:daemon /usr/bin/kermit
chmod 6555 /usr/bin/kermit.

The chmod command sets the requited setuid (4000) and setgid (2000) bits.

Firs find what the perms are:

root> ll /usr/bin/kermit
-r-sr-sr-x 1 bin daemon 720896 Dec 7 2000 /usr/bin/kermit

if they are not like this one then use the chmod command to make them this way which is:

chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/kermit
chmod ug+s /usr/bin/kermit
