Re: [ubuntu-in] how do i auto-start firestarter for users in ubuntu feisty?
I think firestarter has an option that says it should start on dial out but it hasnt started once for me...any ideas? It would probably be since there is no start application on event type of thing in icewm...

Startup files start applications when the user logs in to it and some dont have the start application on event (or am I wrong?) yes, I haven't seen, start application on event, does gnome/kde have such a thing? And the original query pertains to starting an application on starting the session, such a functionality is provided by every window manager I have used so far. I edited /etc/sudoers file to allow sudo with NOPASSWD and added sudo firestarter in the startup file for fluxbox i.e. ~/.fluxbox/startup it works fine. I have added similar entry to System- Preferences-Sessions and firestarter seems to be starting all right. The edited line in /etc/sudoers looks like the this %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL I have edited it using visudo. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Probably you need to be in the dialout group? What type of dial out connection do you have? -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] how do i auto-start firestarter for users in ubuntu feisty?
dear all, used to do this with all my distros ever since i discovered firestarter several years ago. wonder why it's not working with feisty. problem: want to auto-start firestarter, the firewall GUI, each time any user logs-in to my feisty, without their having to know or share the admin password, and without having to give them root privileges. googled and tried the steps mentioned here, but they did not work: How can I get Firestarter to load automatically when I log in as a regular user? http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php yes, used visudo, and checked /etc/sudoers separately too. googled further, discovered another user had faced this problem two years ago, but no solution published here: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2006-04/msg03230.html i usually jot down how i got tricky things running, but can't find it in my old notes either. please help. thanks in advance. regards niyam bhushan -- niyam bhushan -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
