    A minor point, but is not the cause of your problems, libax25 current
    version is 0.0.10 <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ax25/>.

    Because you are having problems via the loopback interface (localhost),
    I believe the issue is with your Linux system, not an amateur radio
    specific problem.

    Is ipchains or iptables/netfilter being used for a firewall?
    Is tcpwrapper (/etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny) an issue?
    Are you using inetd or xinetd?

    Do you see the TCP ports you are trying to use when you do a
            netstat --ip -a | grep LISTEN
    ?

    Other useful tools may be 'lsof' and 'nmap -sS localhost'
    'nmap -sT localhost'.

    Can you run /usr/sbin/node as a normal user (ignore error message
    about unable to open/write to log file)?

    Did you try the same with your inetd/xinetd command entries for clx?
    (something like /usr/local/clx/bin/clxd)

    Simple but embarrassing are still easier to fix. :-)
