Is it possible to update a signature?

Skype has a problem: after first launch the signature is changing because Leopards firewall adds one file witch keeps the signature. So when Skype is restarted, the sum in file and the real is different. Skype doesn't want to run (because firewall stops it).

If it would be possible to update the sum Skype should work again.

Skype programmers are aware of this problem and are currently working on resolution. It's better to wait for an updated version. Until then you can reinstall the original Skype, browse application bundle and lock its MacOS folder.
