Take the kids under control

Children - flowers of life, no doubt. But these flowers require careful care of themselves: in infancy you close the outlet and clean the blades, in later childhood is shifted toward moralizing, but over time the child gets up to the parent The Mac. What are the parental controls we offer to Leopard?

So, on the panel of system settings (System Preferences) is a button "Parental Control". In the window that appears after a user-child choice become available tabs:

1. System. It can include "simplified Finder" for inexperienced users, as well as to select the program, the work that will be available to the user. You can also disable the password change, managing printers, CD recording with DVD and change Dock'a.

2. Content. tab switches allow to hide profanity in the built-in dictionary of the system, as well as restrict access to sites. Moreover, the second implementation has three options: unlimited access, automatic filter sites based on input initial examples or deny access to all sites, except the strictly prescribed.

3. Mail and iChat. Here you can restrict the user to communicate through the Mail and iChat, typing allowed senders. And even more: you can turn on notification that the child is trying to share the letter with the addressee is not in the list.

4. Time. It will limit while working on the computer at work and at weekends and at night.

5. Magazines. On the Advanced tab, you can view the logs of visited and blocked websites, run programs, and logs iChat'a.

It seems, Leopard is able to meet the parents of any degree of paranoia. As lyutovat, is up to you, the main thing - do not overdo it!
