Feature changed by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #307418, revision 10 Title: Parental control module openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jean Cayron (jeancayron) Description: It would be fine to have a GUI in YaST similar with Mandriva's Parental Control "Drakguard". Parental control is something more en more important for safety with computing in family and Linux can't avoid to be distributed into the families. Discussion: #1: John Shand (jshand2008) (2009-08-16 11:09:09) This is a sound idea. i back you all the way. #2: J Thimm (thimm) (2009-09-08 09:35:38) very useful should be in every distro -- #3: Mircea Kitsune (mirceakitsune) (2009-09-16 18:30:41) I am against this idea. I don't believe Linux should include and promote censorship systems based on personal beliefs of what's right or wrong to see. If someone is of the belief that seeing certain content can harm children, there are external tools that can be found and installed for that purpose. #4: Oliver Schmidt (spiollinux) (2009-10-03 14:14:44) It sholud be optional #5: Malvern Star (solaris444) (2009-10-06 18:22:35) Supervising the child instead of attempting to implement an impossible piece of software would be a better solution. The Australian Government poured over 100 million US dollars into developing a child- safe filter that was bypassed in 30 minutes by a kid of 14. And by bypassed I mean disabled and the main password for the parental control system retreived. Pointless feature. #6: Peter Tselios (tpe) (2009-12-08 11:18:56) It is a disarabe system. When you are a parent, you can understand why you do need it. Not all childs are hackers and it is impossible to supervise childs 24/7. So, even as a 1st line of defence, such control should exists in openSUSE. If Mandriva did it, openSUSE can do it too. + #7: Todd R (theblackcat) (2009-12-09 00:55:46) + At least in KDE can the Kiosk tool be used to handle this, or improved + easily so it can? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307418
