[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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?
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <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
[04:46] <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 :)
[04:48] <mhall119> thanks guys
