Parental Controls in Leopard

[dogcowx]

All,

In the planning stages for how I'll apply Leopard to the kid's Macs. Does anyone know if a Parental Control time limit is exceeded in Leopard...

1. What happens?

2. Are you given the option to enter like an administrator password and grant another X # of minutes (when they're actually doing something productive) or do I need to set up a separate account that has more time, but less apps to access (Word, Excel, etc.)

Thoughts?

Leopard has very robust Parental Controls:

1. You get a message and a window of time to shut down, and then the Mac shuts down.

2. Yes, you can set an admin passwords so your kids can't change the settings

I did find one glitch we Simple Finder in Parental Controls

I did find one glitch with Simple Finder in Parental Controls. I blogged about it on our user groups site. I'm not sure how wide spread it is. It could be just affecting the mac Mini's or all of models.

Other than that, the Parental Controls ROCK!
