Mac: Users can't use Phex because of restrictions
 

Hallo,

(OS X, 10.4.2)

I installed Phex. All the kids are users with restrictions (I choose as administrator the softwares the can use). When I try to authorise the kids to use Phex, the system doesn't want to allow that. It says (alert window) that the restrictions I choosed doesn't permit the use of Phex for these users.

Why? Is there a solution?

Thanks

What kind of restrictions do you set?
Network restriction, Resource use restrictions, Software restrictions?

Phex need "java" to run and java and Phex needs full access to the Internet.

Are you sure about restricting your kids use of the computer and letting them use Phex?

I do hope, they are old enough to cope with some of teh crap you can find on the networks (Gnutella isn't quite "childsafe", just like any other p2p network isn't).

Or do I misjudge the age of your children? :)


But that aside:

I just tried opening Phex with a restricted User (OSX Tiger 10.4.2), ad it worked qutie well. My setting are:

Finder & System:
- NOT the simple finder (Using it with "simple finder" also works)
- Only 2 Programs allowed: Adium (Chat) and Phex
- all other points disallowed.

Mail and iChat: Nothing allowed.
Safari: Not configured
Childsafe Dictionary activated.
