I'd check then if skip is compiled static and can work without the libs. Then you don't even need the X-libs on the systems. Anyone check if the package version works *or* are packages built on a non-X system. Don't recall if this was ever discussed. >Any other suggestions for the suggested connection? Most commonly suggested are IPSEC and pipsecd.
