The short story is that any script symlinked into /etc/rc2.d will get
executed while your system boots up. (The long story involves sysvinit,
runlevels, and a few other concepts that I'm not well suited to
explain.)
Since you have that symlink, I expect it should start the firestarter
daemon at boot time. How are you checking that it's not running?
Does ``invoke-rc.d firestarter start'' or ``invoke-rc.d firestarter
restart'' get it going?
