[OZAPRS] Missed Somthing?

[Ray Wells]

Ian,

nws-stations.txt is a file that specifies what will be sent to RF from 
the Inet. It's construction is one item per line. That item may be a 
specific item such as my local wx station ALDAVILLA, a specific 
callsign, vk1ian, or a wildcard. the first three characters constitute a 
wildcard so that vk2 will send all vk2 stations and AO- will send all AO 
series satellites.

Michael,

your file is in the correct location. The permissions on my file are 
640, with vk2tv being the owner and group. Since were now looking for a 
needle in a haystack, did you chmod 4755 xastir? I don't know if this is 
required for a serial TNC but it certainly is for kernel ax25.
