The easiest way to use a skybox in The Dark Mod is to use the prefab ones which come in the resources.
 
The first thing to do is create a textured box around your level. This can be caulk or texture, the important thing is that it has a texture so that the level is sealed.
 
The most simple thing to do is to make a box around the level and use the hollow tool.

Texture the inside facing sides with the textures/textures/smf/portal_sky texture, ensuring you only texture the inside facing sides, selecting them with control shift click.

Place this outside the main hollow box of your level. It is caulked on the outside and sealed so it will not leak.

Finished. When you load your level you will have an attractive night sky with clouds moon and stars.
