Hi all.

I'm running ubuntu 6.10, fully updated, with firestarter.

I have 'sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter' under my sessions startup programs. The problem is that even with sudo there, the firewall still hangs my desktop on load for a couple of minutes before asking for the password.

Everything I've found googling this points to the entry I have.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
