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?

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.
