It's fairly difficult as most of their content is encrypted. But I seem to remember you can block session initiation (not sure if it can be done slectively for IM but not phone functionality) using iptables. Have a look at http://www.ossir.org/windows/supports/2005/2005-11-07/EADS-CCR_Fabrice_Skype.pdf Very enlighting (ugh!) paper on Skype's innards, I think they have an iptables rule somewhere. cheers!
