>18. Associating AX.25 callsigns with Linux users</A
></H1
><P
>There are a number of situations where it is highly desirable to associate
a callsign with a linux user account. One example might be where a number of
amateur radio operators share the same linux machine and wish to use their
own callsign when making calls. Another is the case of PMS users wanting to
talk to a particular user on your machine.</P
><P
>The AX.25 software provides a means of managing this association of linux
user account names with callsigns. We've mentioned it once already in the PMS
section, but I'm spelling it out here to be sure you don't miss it.</P
><P
>You make the association with the <EM
>axparms</EM
> command. An example looks
like:</P

>This command associates that AX.25 callsign <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>vk2ktj</TT

<TT

>terry</TT

CLASS="LITERAL"
>vk2ktj</TT

on the <EM
>pms</EM
> will be sent to Linux account <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>terry</TT
>.</P
><P
>Remember to put these associations into your <EM

> file so that they
are available each time your reboot.</P
><P
><EM
>Note</EM

CLASS="LITERAL"
>root</TT
>
account as this can cause configuration problems in other programs.</P
