Non-root users aren't allowed to grab all packets on the AX.25 socket,

I don't think Debian has listen set up like that. You can make it suid
root though which would allow anyone to run it. Or suid root, belonging
to a group of your choice without execute permission for others.

I don't know if a permission change would be preserved when you upgrade
the package next though.
