Do you mean even the firestarter (gui) did not been lauched on bootup, it actually has been effectively working? --if so, that'll be what I wanted.

If need, Should I add 'NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/firestarter start' in sudoers for this user, or add 'NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter', or just '/usr/sbin/firestarter' for the user?
