A RELENG_6 kernel from May 21 works fine with skype but boot a newer

all is back to normal. I had originally thought that it had to do
with the new xorg installation but it seems to be something in the
kernel. The configurations were the same, basically GENERIC with all
the pf stuff.
Hi,
Skype has an option to listen on tcp/80 and tcp/443 for incoming connections,
because it assumes somehow that firewalls will be configured to allow that
traffic in (some Windowze world assumption, i guess).
In the tools menu, go to Options, Advanced, untick the option that reads "Use
port (sic) 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections".
Apply, exit skype, restart it.
confirm with
sockstat -4 | grep skype | grep \*:80
that skype is NOT listening on port 80 (you shouldn't see any output back from
that cmd) ( similar for 443)
Doesn't this imply that the OP was running Skype as root?
Yes if the sysctl's below net.inet.ip.portrange all have there default
values.
Tom
