After changing kermit to use /usr/spool/locks for lock files,
I found that kermit doesn't run setuid uucp like tip and uucico
do. Thus, it can't create lock files, which causes minor problems.

Does anyone have changes to make C kermit run properly as
setuid uucp? Or, can anyone convince me that it is OK to have
the lock directory publicly writable?
