kermit help: 'make bsd' and 'kermit vs watchdog'

[Kral]

I've tried posting this to the kermit list, but no help.  Perhaps someone here
can help me before I go hacking around.  It seems like someone should have come
across this.

First:

I need help makeing ckermit version 4e.  I get the following output from make
when I 'make bsd':
-------
make wermit "CFLAGS= -DBSD4 -DDEBUG -DTLOG"
cc   -o wermit ckcmai.o ckutio.o  ckufio.o ckcfns.o  ckcfn2.o ckcpro.o ckucmd.o ckuus2.o ckuus3.o ckuusr.o  ckucon.o ckudia.o ckuscr.o
Undefined:
_getcwd
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
-------

I notice that getcwd is defined in ckiutl.c only, and that this is an Amiga
specific file.  Can someone please give me a pointer as to what is wrong here?



Second:  Kermit vs watchdog

My watchdog autologout daemon is wrecking havoc on kermit users who
perform extensive downloads. Our time out period after 1700 is a couple
of hours.  People downloading large source directories bump this
limit.  The problem is that kermit uses /dev/tty.  The watchdog is
watching the tty that the process is logged in on (/dev/ttyxx).  It
doesn't seem to be able to see any activity on the pseudo /dev/tty, so
it logs them off in the middle of a long down load.  We've tried the
set line option (setting the line to the tty your on, as in 
"kermit -l `tty`") but when you exit, or when you set the line back to
/dev/console, it "closes" the line, which turns off the modem control
signals.  This has the affect of disconnecting the terminal from the
host (they are connected via a terminal network -- an idx3000 NX from
M-A/COM).



Third:

There is no third thing.

Any help on any of these would be appreciated.


Thanx,
