how would i make a program that requires root privilages run automatically say when KDE loads with out me having to enter the root password everytime (actually if this can be done when X starts it would be fantastic - as it would independent of the window manager)...
is there any way that i can make the program(firestarter - firewall) which requires superroot status to automatically load when KDE or any other window manager loads and not alow any other user to shut it down...
why dont u make up a script and put it in
/etc/rc.d/init.d
where all the startup scripts are there
only root will able to close that or when the system shuts down
for the syntax for that script u lookup at any script in that directory
