You can limit network access by using Firewall Client IP filters in a router. This is probably not a perfect solution because it limits the whole machine during a specific time.
If your friend wanted to use the machine during the restricted hours, he would have to either log into the router and change the settings (done in the router), or change the ip address of the machine to one [an ip address] that had less restrictive settings (done in the computer). --- On Wed, 12/23/09, COMPUTERGUYS-L automatic digest system <[email protected]> wrote: > From: COMPUTERGUYS-L automatic digest system <[email protected]> > Subject: COMPUTERGUYS-L Digest - 22 Dec 2009 (#2009-1143) > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, December 23, 2009, 12:00 AM > There is 1 message totalling 19 lines > in this issue. > > Topics of the day: > > 1. os x and limiting net access > > > ************************************************************************* > ** List info, subscription management, list rules, > archives, privacy ** > ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** > ************************************************************************* > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:03:49 -0700 > From: mike <[email protected]> > Subject: os x and limiting net access > > I've got a friend with a os x machine and he wants to limit > his sons > internet time to 30 minutes...I'm not quite sure if or how > to do this on the > mac.
