I have direwolf and ax25 setup on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and it's all working good. I just tried to install and setup Debian Hamradio Pure Blend on a desktop that comes with ax25 and Direwolf preinstalled, and I'm having trouble getting the kissattach and mkiss to Direwolf to work
I start direwolf with the -p option, and then do:
kev@kh-debian:~$ sudo kissattach /dev/ptmx 1 44.56.4.118
AX.25 port 1 bound to device ax0
Awaiting client connects on
/dev/pts/4
Then I do:
kev@kh-debian:~$ sudo mkiss /tmp/kisstnc /dev/pts/4
mkiss: open: Permission denied
And I get this Permission denied, and I'm stuck.
I've tried the other workaround with socat, so I've tried starting without the -p, and then doing
socat
PTY,raw,echo=0,link=/tmp/kisstnc TCP4:127.0.0.1:8001
and it sits there, but at that point I'm not sure what I need to mkiss to. Do I need to know what the /dev/pts number is, and presumably socat has created a pts that I need to pass to mkiss?
I've tried these same steps on Mint 17.3 and got exactly the same error too, so not sure how to work around this at this point?
Thanks, Kevin KK6DCT
