If you have the preference for “only accept incoming connections when application is open” (Setup:Preferences:General) selected, this will require you to login every single time you launch Timbuktu Pro. This is because the Timbuktu host requires “root” privileges in order to launch Timbuktu Pro and accept inbound connections.
