[Xastir] AX25 interfacing

[Stephen Brown Jr]

I'm in the process of setting up Xastir to use an AX25 interface and for
some reason I get this when I try to connect to it:

sbrown at onyxia:~$ socket: Operation not permitted
Sun Mar 04 12:12:27 EST 2007:
        Interface Error!  Error opening interface 1 Hard Fail

I am running Ubuntu 6.06 and trying to use this port as an AXIP link to
another machine. I have the port defined in AXPORTS, and kissattached it to
/dev/ptyp0 with no issues.

Thinking this might have been a permissions issue, I started up Xastir using
sudo and sure enough it worked as intended. I also looked at the permissions
for the pty port:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 0 2007-02-24 19:51 /dev/ptyp0

Looking at that should tell me that it should work as my normal user, but
that doesn't appear to be the case. I also added my username (sbrown) to the
root and tty group under /etc/group.

Any clue why this won't work as a normal user? I'm sure it's a permissions
issue somewhere, but I haven't quite pinpointed it yet.......
