Some versions of the AX.25 utils expect the axports file to be in
another directory than /etc/ax25 for some unknown reason. I
actually do not know the precise path here, so I'd suggest you to
investigate it with strace.
AFAIK it was something weird like /usr/var/ax25... but I am not
sure at all. Anyway, if you found out that path make sure it exists
as a link to /etc/ax25 .
