Yes; and it failed! I tried this and other mechanisms to curb the appetite for internet usage. All these attempts resulted in the teenager learning how to bypass the controls. Remember that he'll have physical access to the box; so he can replace it an off-the-shelf device and thereby bypass your controls. If you lock the firewall and/or Xbox in a cabinet; he might read up on lock-picking. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
