10.5: Parental Controls and authenticating proxies
Authored by: JC123 on Oct 23, '08 05:51:37PM

I administer 75 Leopard imacs in a primary school environment, Don't require any web filtering from parental controls (proxies job). I needed parental controls to restrict what the pupils can run, delete, move, change, etc. But as we are behind a proxy had no internet access. I still have this problem logged with Apple support and have passed various logs too them to try to resolve the issue.
This was the only resolution I could find which worked and allowed me to control the system and have internet access for restricted accounts, albeit having to go round all machines after important updates and manually reset as I can't get ARD too pass my admin password in terminal remotely.
Incidentally Apple support advised me they were aware of this issue, and that they/he (the support guy) assumed it was fixed with 10.5.3 update, I was running 10.5.4 at the time.

10.5: Parental Controls and authenticating proxies

When you "Send UNIX Command" in ARD, click the "User" radio button and type root

That should allow your command to run as root and without a password.

Thanks, for the hint. I am not having the specific problem you describe but some managed accounts are not able to log into some sites. I will see if this fixes that problem, and see if it also decreases page load times.
