According to the FAQ on the homepage of Firestarter (http://www.fs-security.com/) if you
installed the Firestarter from a binary package such RPM or Deb, the firewall will be running all the time (dial-up users excluded) and independent of the graphical interface, even after a reboot. In these cases the firewall is registered as a system service and can be manipulated using the standard Linux system service and runlevel management tools.
I installed thru Synaptics, but I can't se it in Control center>Desktop>Sessions>Start up programs (the last entry may be wrong, but you understand what I mean - that's the backside of localized versions - you're never sure of what it's called in english) neither can I see it in Present sessions.
Is it not running or is there more going on "under the hood" than I see here.

Can you check with this command (in a terminal)?
Code: Select all
ps -efH
Well, what Firestarter suggests includes editing the sudoers file which seems impossible. But it should autostart, there is a script in /etc/rc2.d. In the same folder there's a script to start the nVidia kernel (which obviously has to start) and nVidia is not listed using the ps -efH command. I just have to hope it's running - don't get any error messages...
In that script (or rather in the script in /etc/init.d) there are references to a log - where would that be found? Could just check the log to see if there's an entry for Firestarter.

Because it's running as kernel module (= a "driver"), not as a process ... The relevant process using the "nvidia" driver would most likely be something like "gdm" or other GUI related processes ... To see your "nvidia" drivers quasi directly you'd have to type:Husse wrote:nVidia is not listed

Besides, forgive me if this link is unneeded, but I will mention it anyway: There is a nice little Firestarter tutorial for Ubuntu:
http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/01/07/ ... buntu-610/
Maybe it's worth to take a look?
And then there is the official documentation:
http://www.fs-security.com/docs.php
And here we have "iptables" tutorials for those who want to fine-tune everything by hand and are not afraid to use the terminal (and maybe learn a lot too?)
