Assuming that when Firestarter is called from local and does not start is a
failure, then the connection proceeds and is firewalled. As I understand it, it

That gives command not found, however I would expect it to be root since you
cannot access Firestarter from user. In the file properties from Konqueror it
show Ownership as root for User and Group.
