Hi all,
I need to find out if there is a way to check where my kid has been going on the internet. He has figured out how to delete his history , by clicking on Go>History, then the drop down box opens, and he highlights and deletes his trail! Is there a way I can check on this elsewhere in the system? Maybe in a terminal? When he highlights and deletes, does that eliminate all trace of where he has been?
He had been going to some nude pics sites and some [censored], I told him if he did it anymore, he would not be using the computer anymore. But I don't want to push that on suspition, rather than proof!
I am running fc4, and we are using mozilla.
Thanks in advance

Just a quick thought---cant you do something with permissions so that key files can't be deleted?
Or maybe, set up a script to mirror the key files to some hidden folder.
OR.......maybe take a different tack and set up some kind of honor system wherein the kid enters into a contract to follow your rules?
AND finally---keep in mind the old adage: Locks are for honest people (and alarms are a waste)---a pro is going to get your (car, boat, jewelry, etc.) no matter what you do.
Corollary--if he wants [censored], he is going find it--you can maybe slow him down, but you'll never stop him.
