Thanks for the explanation Joerg and thanks also for your hard work on keeping the Suse Ham section updated. The change of tree causes a problem for the fbbconf program that new users might want for first setting up fbb.conf config file. As mentioned in my note, I ended up just editing the sample file instead. So we could drop fbbconf since we used to edit by hand anyway. I will look at changing my tree back to /var/lib/ax25. FYI in part 2 of my report on FBB7.04 with Suse9.1 I will describe how I managed to get ax25 and netrom working on the radio ports so that my BBS now has telnet, ax25 and netrom with the node(0.30) using all the components from SUSE9.1 DVD. My FBB BBS has been running now for 3 days continuous using telnet and netrom (RF) fwding and no problems. The missing piece is the startup code that was called rc.ax25 or other such scripts to load the kissattach, nrattach etc. More on that soon as I clean up my documentation. The only part I don't use is AXIP as I have no need for that. 73, Ron VE1AIC --- Joerg Reuter <jreuter@suse.de> wrote:

Does anyone know why this change in the tree was made?
/var/ax25 is not allowed according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), a Linux distribution that claims to conform to above standard has to patch packages that don't. Hence the change of the path.
