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.

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.
