I can sign-in and I can see all my contacts etc. However, I get an "skype has experienced a database error"; and I am afraid the solution is to run the programme as root, which I don't like at all. I am looking for a solution... Maybe the groups file
Anyway I cannot check it out because I am having some trouble with the micro configuration in my o'bsd crashbox... and I do not have much time to play around with these things. In any case you can try yourself. Download the static binary and then use linux emulation with the following libraries: ld-linux.so.2 libGL.so.1 libICE.so.6 libSM.so.6 libX11.so.6 libXau.so.6 libXcursor.so.1 libXext.so.6 libXfixes.so.3 libXft.so.2 libXmu.so.6 libXrandr.so.2 libXrender.so.1 libXt.so.6 libXxf86vm.so.1 libasound.so.2 libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 libdrm.so.2 libexpat.so.0 libexpat.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1 libfreetype.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 libm.so.6 libpthread.so.0 librt.so.1 libstdc++.so.5 I can send you the libraries if you wish (makes 2MB) but don't want to overload the mailing list with... spam :) in any case I would like to listen to what people think of using skype on an o'bsd system. Let's make the axiom that skype is not malware/spyware etc (as they state on their page). We have to blindly trust them because it's CLOSED; they give you a binary. Now... what happens when you start a conversation over skype? Does this make your system more vulnerable? attackable? I'm just learning... thanks Pau ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: the. phule <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 11/12/2006 14:05 Subject: Re: skype on o'bsd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 12/10/06, Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know, I know... but I was just curious...

Do the dialout/dialin test features work? Have you actually spoken to someone with it. And thanks for posting the short results, its nice to see new things.
