So, what does this do?

# cat /etc/prelink.conf.d/skype.conf -b /usr/bin/skype

It blacklists /usr/bin/skype from prelink. Not sure why, but it wouldn't affect make your system automatically start skype.

Read 'man prelink.conf':

   -b --black-list=PATH
                 This  option  allows  blacklisting  certain
                 paths, libraries or binaries.  Prelink will not
                 touch them during prelinking.

On a side note: James, you may want to think of getting rid of prelink altogether. The only downside is: it allegedly makes starting new process

We removed prelink from all systems some time ago mainly due to its interference with aide.

I have searched the entire system using 'find /etc -type f | xargs grep -in skype' and 'find /home -type f | xargs grep -in skype' and found nothing beyond what was previously reported here.

I have since removed the software via 'yum history rollback'. And it will not be returning.

Thanks for the help.
