This is not a good idea - from a security standpoint it's very bad, and unless xastir is designed to drop/escalate the euid as needed you will end up with files in the users directory that are owned by root, leading to other problems.

The problem isn't xastir, it's ax25 networking. Maybe someone can offer a fix (e.g. udev rule) to solve the actual problem?
