What we want to have is a fully automated process.  Say someone insert a 
new skype id remotely, and wish to add this as a new skype channel.  The 
automated process will grab the authentication information, create a 
startup script for it, then load the new skype interface.   Now, if 
during the skype login for this new user, it got a "P2P connect error" 
as I mentioned, then all the existing skype interfaces will stop working 
too.

IF you could possibly offer a configuration parameter for it, that'll be 
greatly appreciated.

Yes, that's exactly the problem I got.  "reload mod_skyopen" will load 
the new interface, but "sk_reload" doesn't.

Yes.  This means that maybe your default skype configuration template 
may require some minor adjustments?

Thanks.
