<para>This tool<footnote>
<para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis role="bold">drakguard</emphasis> as root.</para>
</footnote> is found in the Mageia Control Center, under the Security tab,
labelled <guilabel>Parental Control</guilabel>. If you don't see this label,
you have to install the drakguard package (not installed by default).</para>
<section>
<title>Presentation</title>
<para>Drakguard is an easy way to set up parental controls on your
computer to restrict who can do what, and at which times of day. Drakguard
has three useful capabilities:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It restricts web access to named users to set times of day. It
does this by controlling the shorewall firewall built into
Mageia.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>It blocks execution of particular commands by named users so
these users can only execute what you accept them to execute.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>It restricts access to websites, both manually defined through
blacklists/whitelists, but also dynamically based on the content of
the website. To achieve this Drakguard uses the leading opensource
parental control blocker DansGuardian.</para>

<title>Configuring Parental controls</title>
<para><warning>
<para>If your computer contains hard drive partitions that are
formatted in Ext2, Ext3, or ReiserFS format you will see a pop up
offering to configure ACL on your partitions. ACL stands for Access
Control Lists, and is a Linux kernel feature that allows access to
individual files to be restricted to named users. ACL is built into
Ext4 and Btrfs file systems, but must be enabled by an option in Ext2,
Ext3, or Reiserfs partitions. If you select 'Yes' to this prompt
drakguard will configure all your partitions to support ACL, and will
then suggest you reboot.</para>
</warning><guibutton>Enable parental control</guibutton>: If checked,
the parental control is enabled and the access to <guilabel>Block
programs</guilabel> tab is opened.</para>
<para><guibutton>Block all network traffic</guibutton>: If checked, all
the websites are blocked, except the ones in the whitelist tab. Otherwise,
all the websites are allowed, except the ones in the blacklist tab.</para>
<para><guibutton>User access</guibutton>: Users on the left hand side will
have their access restricted according to the rules you define. Users on
the right hand side have unrestricted access so adult users of the
computer are not inconvenienced. Select a user in the left hand side and
click on <guibutton>Add</guibutton> to add him/her as an allowed user.
Select an user in the right hand side and click on <guibutton>Remove</guibutton>
to remove him/her from the allowed users.</para>
<para><guibutton>Time control:</guibutton> If checked, internet access is
allowed with restrictions between the <guilabel>Start</guilabel> time and
<guilabel>End</guilabel> time. It is totally blocked outside these time
window.</para>
<section>
<title>Blacklist/Whitelist tab</title>
<para>Enter the website URL in the first field at the top and click on
the <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Block Programs Tab</title>
<para><guibutton>Block Defined Applications</guibutton>: Enables the use
of ACL to restrict access to specific applications. Insert the path to
the applications you wish to block.</para>
<para><guibutton>Unblock Users list</guibutton>: Users listed on the
right hand side will not be subject to acl blocking.</para>
