ckermit for Debian
------------------

June 29 2004:
 Crypto options (kerberos and SSL) have been temporarily disabled to
 get a up-to-date version into debian in time for Sarge. They will be
 re-enabled once the issue of whether crypto-enabled ckermit belongs
 in non-free or non-US/non-free has been decided by the ftpmasters.


The site for ckermit, which has lots more documentation, is at:

http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/

On startup, kermit looks for .kermrc in your home directory.
If this is not found, it uses /etc/kermit/kermrc. This in
turn looks for .mykermrc in your home directory.

Kermit scripts can be run with shebang (#!) notation, i.e. by making
the script executable and setting the first line to

#!/usr/bin/kermit

As most users do not need the full config file, a minimal config file
is installed by default. If you wish to run kermit with the full
config file, run it as "kermrc".

/usr/bin/kermrc is a symbolic link to /etc/kermit/kermrc.full,
which can be edited to taste.

iksd (the Internet Kermit Service Daemon) can be enabled or disabled
using:

dpkg-reconfigure ckermit

iksd uses /etc/kermit/iksd.conf on startup.  If you have enabled
anonymous use, it uses /etc/kermit/iksd-anon.conf *within* the
anonymous chroot, so if you use the default, it will look for

/home/ftp/etc/kermit/iksd-anon.conf
