When I start skype as user (never tried with superuser) it cannot connect, and while trying to do so, it fuck up the whole network. Also when this happened skype cannot be killed with -9 even. I tried to find something with ktrace, but I really do not understand very much what's going on. I notice that skype goes mad and calls a lot gethostbyname(). Well skype is binary (for linux) without debug symbols in it so I guess it is almost impossible to know what happens, and may be those complains have to be sent to skype.com ? :) Rem P Roberti wrote: > I can start Skype as user, but when I try to do this the programs runs > extremely slowly, all inputs and screens take forever to respond, and > the program doesn't remember my login name and password.
