q: why are the symlinks created for the instances?

so when the script launches the Skype client instances you can see them in a distinct way: eg: skypopen interface skype103 will be served by skype instance you see as "skype103" when you use "ps ax" on your machine. This is useful when you want to bring down, up, etc a specific interface/instance. If you don't use symlinks, they will all be "skype" on ps ax, no way to distinguish one from other q: why are the passwords not stored in the xml skypopen.conf.xml because that xml has nothing to do with the launch of a skype client instance. You must give the skype client the password in stdin q: How do I start skypopen.ko module from modbrope.d? Please consult your distribution instructions, is different on each linux distro. Anyway, you can start it from the script that launches the skype instances -giovanni
