RE: OT - Parental Controls

2011-03-29 Thread Suhail Muhammed
Both openDNS and K-9 are great and I have been using them for several months.

However, I have also looked at the paid/subscription software and haven't found 
one that allows for restricting the internet to a few sites based on the hour 
of the day.

It would be great if there is a product that would allow facebook/games/etc for 
certain hours of the day and leave internet connectivity open for other sites 
for homework/school research for the rest of the day.

For facebook, my rule is simple.. You are allowed to use facebook if I know the 
password. You lose access the day you change the password and don't let me know 
about it... Has worked great so far

Let us know what you end of doing for your friend.

Many times we get requests for recommendations but rarely a response back with

 Hi All

 a friend of mine has been given an old laptop running windows XP

 she want s to get this on line for her kids so i will beef up the RAM 
 and install a wireless dongle

 however she asked about parental controls for web browsing etc. Not 
 having kids this is something that i have not looked in to

 anybody have any advice and or experience of any offerings?

 as the laptop is fairly old it will need to be something with minimal 
 system requirements. also my friend is not too computer savvy so it 
 needs to be simple to administer

 thanks

 Laurence

RE: OT - Parental Controls

2011-03-29 Thread Suhail Muhammed
Actually, it is more than two :)

Most kids have three or four accounts but the most common usage is for games -- 
cheating and giving each other points/gifts/etc.

K-9 also has a web-history - quite slow, but very handy.

Not accusing your children of anything..but working in a school district I can 
tell you that many children have two facebook accounts. One for their parents 
as you describe and the real one for their friends and real activities.

Just a heads up to check the history and usage but it sounds like you have it 
well under control.

Re: So, I'm up late patching systems, and getting cranky...

2008-10-24 Thread Suhail Muhammed

Sorry for the thread hijack, but I noticed that this may be worthwhile for
people as they may have started patching as the weekend approaches.

I was under the impression that only the systems listed at Microsoft's site
for MS08-067 require patching. Apparently, the list is fairly long and as
simply put by Microsoft's CSS Security, Any OS that Microsoft currently
supports requires this patch. I had called to ask if Win2K3 Enterprise
required the patch as it is not listed in the bulletin. Consequently, I
copied this entire list for our support staff from Symantec's update:

I think it is just like you were thinking at and typed as.

I mean they literally look as the word and say it wrong.
