One thing to regarding the node binary. The old "Linux Node" software evidently has several major security vulnerabilities in it that were resolved in a fork called Uronode. See the Unode release nodes below for more details. The HAM that wrote Uronode has seemingly dropped of the map as all his domains no longer work, etc. A different HAM (KD1ZD) has reposted that work as a new fork called Unode. I would argue that the original Linux node software should be patched to be secure or better yet, be DROPPED from the ax25 suite in favor of this new Unode software which is "more" secure, has some additional features, etc. https://github.com/kd1zd/Unode Just my $0.02 --David KI6ZHD Patrick Ouellette wrote: > On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 02:04:00PM +0200, Thomas Osterried wrote: >> On 2011-10-20 21:02:44 -0700, David Ranch >> wrote in <4EA0EEE4.7050502@trinnet.net>: >>> Hello Bernard, Ralf, Thomas, >>> >>> I've been meaning to ask this question for a while now: Do you know >>> why the official version of the ax25 apps/libs/tools hasn't been >>> updated in ages? >> Unfortunately, there's no debian-developer who regulary builds new >> packages from the CVS head of ax25-apps, -tools and libax25. > > I used maintain ax25 for Debian to a long time ago.
