I now have shorewall installed, so I may not be able to easily check that for the moment. I confess that I do not normally have sudo & the like installed partly because the target is a netbook & I want to avoid bloat; and partly because I find sudo laborious & cumbersome. Maybe gksu is not so bad: I guess I need to try. > That is expected.
