Where are the programs actually installed?

[mirchichamu]

I would like to know where is the program folder? I wanted some programs to add to start up but couldn't find the program? How can I add program to startup? Thanks.

Most of the installed programs are in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin./usr/local/bin should have all the goodies you compiled yourself.

Here's a diagram of the system, from here http://www.linuxconfig.org/Filesystem_Basics

I have another graphical display map of the system somewhere. Beats me where it is right now though.

Thanks for the help.
Now that I wanted to add firestarter to start up programs, I get a message at start up that I should be having root administrator privileges to start this program. How can I do that so that the firestarter start by its own on start up. Thanks.

Do not ever and never add Firestarter to the auto start the program!!!
you need to manual start the Firewall with the ROOT password.
The ROOT password is the user password /If you did not add NEW password for your ROOT ACC.

way?

well if Firestarter will start Auto then the attacker will have easy life to log into your machine,
He do not have to insert the password of the User/ROOT to bypass it right.
So this is from the things that you do not do ever and never please.

Well thanks once again for the great tip. I wanted that just in case I forgot to switch on my firestarter.

No need to start it each time. Once you set it up it writes the rules you create to the iptables and they are in effect at each boot. iptables is the actual firewall, firestarter is just a GUI front end to make it easier to configure the iptables.

Thank you very much 2hot6ft2 for the great tip.

Sorry to bother again BUT I cannot see this iptable in any process manager? OR it is with other name?
