| mhall119 | highvoltage: stgraber: my son was caught on the computer before 6am this morning, what app will let me disable his login except between reasonable hours? | 01:28 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | I installed nanny, but it doesn't seem to prevent his login | 01:28 |
| mhall119 | running 12.04 with Unity desktop | 01:29 |
| mhall119 | maybe I'm just not doing something right with nanny? | 01:29 |
| mhall119 | or do I need to reboot for it to work? | 01:29 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: ah, I thought we removed nanny from the archives already by 12.10 | 04:34 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: it's been abandonded upstream so currently we don't have a replacement and between lightdm and gdm changing so much no one has stepped up to write a replacement yet | 04:34 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: however, we'll likely have some functionality at some point in the edubuntu samba configuration where you could set at which times a user is allowed to log in | 04:35 |
| stgraber | mhall119: as highvoltage said, nanny is kind of unmaintained and so I wouldn't expect much of it to work sadely... as a workaround, /etc/security/time.conf might do the trick, or something even more hackish would be to write a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ shell script checking the time and doing an exit 1 if it's outside of the time you want to allow | 04:46 |
| stgraber | the Xsession idea is roughly what nanny was doing, though with a much nicer interface to control it :) | 04:46 |
| mhall119 | thanks guys | 04:48 |
