kmyfirewall needs an entry in the k-menu so i dont have to type kdesu kmyfirewall in a terminal. :) i saw that kportage does this, so i looked at the ebuild to see if it was something in the ebuild. its not. apparently its in the tar.gz. thanks for all the hard work. -brady
hi, this will be done by a kmyfirewall.desktop file, similar to: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/kportage/kportage/kportage/kportage.desktop?rev=1.4&sortby=date&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup i generally dislike this and removed it from kportage in future versions (>0.5.1-r1), because i think the user has to choose with what permissions the program is executed. i don't know anything about kmyfirewall, but i think there are things which can be done as normal user, not as root.
kmyfirewall can load/save/edit configs when it is not run as root, just not activate/test them. I agree with Hannes that a user who admins a machine's fireally should run su/kdesu himself when needed (or login as root :-). The author of kmyfirewall thinks so too I suppose since he hasn't put kdesu in the .desktop file. Finally, such a change doesn't fit the Gentoo mindset imho. We don't change packages in ways that likely wouldn't be merged upstream to achieve results a user can achieve himself in 30 seconds wihout any special knowledge.
