Kubuntu and Firestarter on start-up

[TWO]

I've recently just switched from Ubuntu to Kubuntu, just to give it try for a while.

I've installed Firestarter, on each system start-up I am prompted for a password in order for the program to start.

I'd rather not have to keep entering a password each time, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to set the program so that it starts with the necessary permissions so that I don't have to keep entering in the password.

Thanks in advance,

First, if you are running Kubuntu you might prefer guarddog. Just a thought.

Second you should NOT run firestarter all the time. Firestarter is a gui front end for your firewall, iptables. Once it is configured it remains configured even if you close firestarter or reboot.

Firestarter runs as root and is thus a security risk. Firestarter should NOT be used to monitor your network traffic.

==========

OK, if you want to run firestarter anyway, you need to configure sudo to allow you to run firestarter with no password. Sorry to be a pain about this, but I believe if you are going to configure sudo you should read and fully understand what you are doing.

One last thing, be sure to use visudo (which will call nano) to make changes.
