Did the lock (LCK..xxx) directory change from /var/lock/ in ckermit-8.0.209 to /etc/locks/ in ckermit-8.0.211?
Because a "strings" on /usr/bin/kermit reveals "$@/var/lock" for the former, but "/etc/locks/LCK.." for the latter.
Is there a runtime option to stuff in the .kermrc to get it to look into /var/lock instead? I couldn't find one. Kermit 7.0 seems to support the "lockdir" variable, but kermit 8.0 doesn't.
Because "yum provides /etc/locks" doesn't seem to report that this is a known directory... and indeed it doesn't exist on my system.
I haven't looked at the .src.rpm to see what values of "#define LOK" and -DLOCK_DIR=... were used (or might have changed).
