    How did you compile libax25, utils and apps.? simply with
    ./configure
    make
    make install

    When i do;
    strace -o filename listen
    i get;
    open("/etc/ax25/axports", O_RDONLY) = 4
    and all is well.
    When i read the INSTALL file in the source archive of ax25-apps-xx i see
    that one needs to use;

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
    To get the above effect, meaning i used the options above to configure
    before i compiled.

    Your axports file is possably being looked for in /usr/local/etc instead of
    /etc/ax25 if you simply did ./configure.
    Of course i could be wrong.

    The message is saying "cant open axports file" that says to me the program
    cant find it.
    So i doubt that the fact that your line is one field short in lenght is the
    problem.

    packet EI4AGB-15 1200 255 2 My_Radio_Port

    Murphy's 115th law.
    If all else fails read the manual before hitting the computer with a
    "empty" bottle of Murphy's Red.
    Normally that will result in only a broken bottle, rather than a broken
    bottle and a very wet computer.
