You could also run a squid filtering solution and route all of his traffic through it using iptables.

    My son's computer is running Fedora 13. I think I need parental controls for it. This is one thing that Mac OS X gets 100% correct. They are easy to manage and affective.
     
    I need an equivalent for Fedora. I've figured out the time control, but I really need to manage accessible content from Firefox.
     
    Is that even possible?
     
    Thanks.

    I have an OpenDNS account for my house and set the firewall to only allow
    DNS queries to the OpenDNS servers from the house. That way they cannot
    change to another DNS and keep looking at questionable content.
     
    Hope that helps. I am completely satisfied with the free service they
    offer.

The problem with Squid is that I'd have to maintain the list of sites, unless I can have it use some kind of intelligence.  Maybe smarter than the one I had at my last company that blocked a tech support page on Cisco's web site because it talked about mating the mail and female connectors together. 

Also, his computer is a laptop, so I need a solution that runs locally on it. Of course he doesn't have root on it, so the Open DNS might work, since I can configure it to use OpenDNS no matter where we are.  I just have to look into a bit more.

Actually,  I think that you could, it would involve some level of additional scripting, automated process stopping and starting. and a renewable collection of blacklists, I have gotten some of that figured out, but not all of it.

      I would be willing to help out some, as I am working on this same
      system for home. from what I can remember it should not be so
      difficult to convert to a mobile setup. I managed most of it with
      ubuntu, but when you consider that the file functions are the same,
      just dropped in different places.
