When my machine boots up, I get this message
kissparms uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
I understand that it is not really a problem, but it looks ugly, do I need to change
the format in which the data is sent to kissparms?

You could try directing messages to /dev/null. For instance:

<program-name> 2>&1 >/dev/null

This directs stderr to stdout and the whole thing to /dev/null, which is bascially a black hole. No messages should appear unless there is a call to do direct IO to the screen (which I wold imagine is not done in this case).

You will need to edit the rc file (/etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d depending on your linux flavor) and add the redirect there.

Good luck.

I would rather fix it if possible then just hide it. If there is a fix I will try to do
so, if not I will just disregard it.

Thank you for the info. I had thought about doing something like that but really wanted to correct it.

#3 lore raw

The ax.25 tools use networking functions from the kernel that are pretty much obsolete. That's what is generating this message. If you're knowledgeable about coding, it might be possible to dig into the tools source code and fix the issue, but not really worth it. The message is harmless, and in fact, the directing of data to /dev/null as previously suggested will not do any good, as the message is coming from the kernel, not the program.

I believe the latest version of the ax.25 software fixes this problem, or maybe it was only fixed in CVS. If so, I'll look at making a new tarball release.

Okay, it looks like there are some related updates in ax25-tools that have not been made into a release. I will plan on doing a release.

Looking forward to it. Will check it out as soon as it is released.
