Since Firestarter tries to set up your firewall settings, it needs root privileges to operate.

Hi,
I have used klik to install a couple of programs, "gazpacho" and "firestarter". When I click on the icon for gazpacho it runs fine. When I click on the "firestarter" desktop icon, I get a message saying that I require root privileges to run firestarter. I believe that that message come from firestarter.
I tried:
sudo ~/.zAppRun firestarter_1.0.3-1.1.cmg
and recieved the message:
Unable to mount /tmp/app/2.
What command should I have used??
Thanks

This means that your system is set up to refuse X applications running under the root account for security reasons.
man xhost
shows you how to allow the root user to run graphical applications.

Hey,
The only way I could get firestarter to work via "sudo firestarter" is simply:
cya,1.) login as root (su -)
2.) cd /home/username
3.) cp .Xauthority /root/
