HOWTO: Load Firestarter (Firewall) when session starts.

These two simple steps will allow you to start Firestarter (Firewall) automatically right after you login. (Only for Gnome.)

My system is entirely in Spanish so some translations might not be correct.

First of all, since Firestarter requires sudo privileges to be started, we will add it to /etc/sudoers:

Code:
export EDITOR=gedit && sudo visudo
and add the following string at the bottom:

Code:
username ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter
where "username" is YOUR OWN user name.

Now let's add it to the session.
Open "System->Preferences->Sessions" and click the tab "Start up programs" (the last).
Click the "Add button" and add the following string:

Code:
gksudo /usr/sbin/firestarter
This is all. Next time you start
