Any user can run the program (file permissions), but only root is
allowed to perform the needed network operations (kernel behavior).

Make sure you're looking at this version of the HOWTO:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/AX25-HOWTO/
There's a much older one still in circulation.
Lots of software isn't in the HOWTO, since it focuses on the basic
transport. The hamsoft database at radio.linux.org.au list a lot of
stuff, though its links are often out of date. Google is your friend,
both for finding unlisted stuff, and for re-locating the lost hamstuff
items. If you're looking for something specific, asking here would be
a good thing to try also.
