My kids are running MGA. I use the parental control feature for years. It works fine. However, I miss one functionality: I would like to be able to enforce that they cannot use more than X minutes per day the computer. I have to admit that I have no idea if other parental control tools allow that neither what kind of technology can be used to enforce that. If someone knows how to do it, then it might be a nice marketing argument to parents for MGA 2 :)

Maybe you can try (if you're using KDE) kchildlock package ?

Hi John, It looks indeed like what I am looking for. Thanks. The whole family is using Gnome at the moment. I will try to switch the kids to KDE. I guess that the restrictions only apply when they are under KDE, and no longer if they use another desktop manager?
From the description ( http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KChildlock?content=88124 ) i would say yes.
@ Daniel Do you still need the enhancement, or did you manage to let the kids use KDE and are you content with KChildlock?

I moved my kids to KDE, because it was the simplest option for me. I looks like doing the job for now. Thanks again for the tip. However, I would love the have the same feature independently of the window manager. I am used to gnome for years and I would have preferred to keep my kids there :) Regarding the integration of Kchildlock, would it be possible at some point to detect in MCC that KDE and KChildlock are installed and to add an option to configure Kchildlock in the parental control section? (or to suggest to install Kchildlock if KDE is installed) At least it would provide the information to the end user that finer parental control is available in KDE.
@ Daniel Thanks for your comment :) @ André CC'ing you because of your interest in drak* tools. There is no current maintainer for drakguard

It would be interesting to have a desktop-independant version that could be configured/installed from MCC. There are already some applications which can be installed from MCC (not counting rpmdrake). BTW, I'm gnome-oriented myself. @ Marja -- thanks for the CC

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja
