Help with Firestarter set up

Hello to the Board - first post and all that.....

I have just installed Arch, having decided to leave Suse.  So far, so good.

I am trying to get Firestarter up and running, having installed it via Pacman.  When I type "gksu firestarter", as per instructions, I get the following:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

(firestarter:18881): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Gtk is installed so any pointers as to get this up and running would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

hi there
I do not use gksu to run firestarter and i dont think it is required. just try

sudo firestarter

from console in X and it should work.Hope it helps

Re: Help with Firestarter set up

Just for the record, it(firestarter event log) works finally

when i ran next command as root

gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/firestarter/client/system_log /var/log/iptables.log

I removed my sig, cause i select the flag, the flag often the target of enemy.
