My somewhat inactive teenage step-son accesses the web from his '98 PC through our FreeBSD server. I'd like to be able to put limits on his surfing hours per month/week/day linked to the amount he contributes to the household chores. I can think of several ways to do this which all involve some scripting on my part. Paradoxically, I know Perl on NT quite well, but have never used it on a Unix OS, so I'd have some work to do. Is there an established way of achieving a quota on modem time? If not I'll have to roll up my sleeves and get inventive. ps I'm going to encourage him to circumvent any system I put in place. Hacking his way past it will force him to learn something and that's even better than getting help with the housework. --------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
