This problem only happens on certain setups and we have been unable to
find out why it's happening. Skype should (and does) work as a normal
user and shouldn't require any permission changes.
Please post the output of any errors you're seeing and the output of
uname -a. Also, how are you starting skype? What linux_base are you
running?
Beech
The output of uname -a: FreeBSD bsd.remdog.net 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD
7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 14:37:25 UTC 2009

The only way that I can start Skype is via the command line as root. If
I try to launch
the program as user this results: /usr/local/bin/skype:
/usr/local/share/skype/skype: Permission denied
I am currently running linux_base-fc6-6_5 which I installed as per
UPDATING 20080318.

What are the premissions of /usr/local/share/skype? Try doing chmod 755
/usr/local/share/skype and start with:
skype --resources=/usr/local/share/skype
Beech
Yeah, I tried 755 earlier, and a+rx. No dice. Regardless of how I set
the permissions (so far)
when I try to launch as user I get the same "Permission denied"
routine. Weird.
