With the current AX25 versions, you'll find that the pre-compiled
packages look for config files in /etc/ax25, while the default
location in the source code is /usr/local/etc/ax25. This apparently
complies with the Linux FSSTND, but it makes it annoying when you
use a combination of packaged and home-compiled tools. I finally made
/usr/local/etc/ax25 a symlink to /etc/ax25 and that's worked well.
