Which version of freebsd are you using? With all of the chmods that I've been doing things began to get a little bunged up. Couldn't even bring Skype up as root. So I deinstalled Skype via pkg-cutleaves and reinstalled. In the process I had to also do a deinstall/reinstall of linux_base-fc6. So now I'm back to the original setup. I assume that you followed the directives of UPDATING 20080318 in order for you to get Skype to work. Rem
