Which preferences does .mac sync in system preferences?

[bluedoggiant]

I've got a quick question, can i use .mac, to synchronize my parental control settings with another mac? like whenever i add an exception to the parental control list, it will update on the other mac as well?

i have exceptions on the web content filtering list, if i get another mac, i need that to be synced. and that is the only thing i have enabled in parental controls. does anyone have an idea? does .mac even sync the system settings?😕😕😕

does anybody know of a phone number i can call to ask about this?? no one is answering this so I'm guessing nobody knows. Can .mac even sync the preferences that require an admin to edit?

In Leopard, one of the options for a .Mac is to sync Preferences, I wonder if that includes parental controls or not.
