Then it seems node doesn't like you :-) , but that's no problem.
Just create an empty file, e.g. with a text editor, name it loggedin
and save it into /var/ax25/node . That's the way it worked for me a
long time ago. Node filled in what it liked and the error message
went away.

Here's what ls -l gives me:

total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 256 Jul 10 00:23 loggedin

I'll send you this loggedin file if you want and creating an empty file
does't work for you.
Another member of this mailing list said that creating loggedin is
included in the makefile. That's true, and it works indeed, but only
for the option make installconf, which will overwrite all your ax25
configuration files with default ones. So the documentation included
in ax25utils recommends making installconf only if you're installing
ax25utils the first time ever.

Cheers, 73
