[NTLUG:Discuss] Question on Firestarter

I'm using Firestarter as my firewall, but I'm confused on running it and
hope somebody can set me straight.

First, does Firestarter run on startup regardless of who is logged on?
root, maybe?

Second, why does Firestarter not show as running for all logon ids?
Somehow, it is set to run on one id on my system, but not others. Should
it run on other, non-su ids? Or just as part of the system?

IOW, does it run for the system or for the user? If for the user, how do
I specify Firestarter to run at user startup?

I'm running FC3.

John
