We don't know how old your daughter is. Presumably she has other avenues of accessing the internet than at home (school, library, friends' house, etc). She's your daughter; she will only get into the smut either by accident or because she's curious.
I would suggest you teach her how to avoid getting into it by accident and address the curiosity as a parenting issue. Please, I'm not trying to start a flame war. If you've decided that you need parenting controlls, carry on. I just wanted to offer some perspective. (Its what happens when one is both an engineer and a nurse.) As far as bogging down the system, it depends on how powerful your system is. I don't know how to have a proxy server on a system from which you want to prevent direct web access. Someone here will. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
