Synergy auto-start on Mac OS X

[Jethro Padullon 0]

I can't seem to find any settings to auto-start Synergy at boot. I tried to use the Login Items in Mac OS X, but it keeps showing the configuration window when I login or start up my Mac, even with "Hidden" checked. Any help is greatly appreciated........new user here Please be gentle, I haven't gone through the entire forum yet to find out about this. Cheers

Yes, I am just looking for this today, found old directions for getting it to start at boot using a script and plist file in /Library/StartupItems/Synergy, however, it doe snot seem to start [code] Mar 9 19:01:48 machine synergyc[790]: Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to Window Server before login.

Definitely would like to see this working. I know it's minor but it really prevents me from having my desired setup due to needing the keyboard on the desk.
