Greetings, All - I want to set up an account for my boy that he can use freely with the exception that I can turn off his Internet access at will from my root-privilege account. It would be nice if I could also set up a limited-access constraint that would allow him some domains with a white-list file. I'm using KDE4 on 7-STABLE. I need the rest of the accounts to remain connected, so a simple ifconfig is not appropriate. He's not experienced enough (yet :) to be able to reconfigure things for himself, so if there's a KDE config that I can use that'll be fine. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Please reply including my direct address as I am not on the list subscription. -- Don Wilde ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So the proxy will filter out unwanted stuff or just block the wholly. I am quite sure that a beast like squid could do this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may also want to run it in a jail, though I don't know if that will work, never used jails other than casual tinkering. jerry -- Don Wilde ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
