I got it now, all it was the $ttylocks setting in dosemu.conf. This should be set to /var/lock instead of the default "" which points to the depreciated /usr/spool/uucp directory, that didn't exist.

I'm suprised to see that I cannot add [write] permissions to others for the /var/lock dorectory. It just stays at 775. Has anyone else had this or know why? i'm using rh9.
You can, but I think you'll find that in your startup scripts, Red Hat have put a command which sets those permissions at boot time. It's a historical Unix-type thing. You shouldn't need to be doing that to files in /var/lock anyway, it's a terrible security hole.
You could change the lock-directory in your .dosemurc for example to
$_ttylocks = "/home/user/dosemu/lock"
and the problem with wright permission and security is solved.
