The firewall suggestion should work , but there may be an easier, although non OpenBSD, solution. If she just wants to limit the time he is playing, the xbox 360 has a "family timer" feature, you set a length in hours per day or week, and when it is used up, the console locks up until the next day/week. -- Mark Mathias _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
