Doesn't work, how?  Do you get permission denied?  If that's the case,
it might be something like AppArmor.

Or does dictd have a configuration setting that allows or disallows the
following of symlinks?  I did a couple quick searches on
<https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/dictd/dictd.8.en.html> and didn't
see anything about following symlinks, but it's a *large* page so I
could have missed it.
