I tried Googling for this (and searching here) but didn't see anything.

I've got an Intel Mac Mini with 10.5.3 on it, and it's not honoring the 30 minute time limit I'm setting. I had trouble with this on 10.5.2, too.

Today what happened was that my daughter was on for at least 30 minutes, and she never got even a warning. I logged her out and the login window showed that her time was up (the red circle with the dash in it). Why no warning? Why didn't it cut her off?

In the past, I think I've also seen the case where it warned her, but didn't cut her off.

Anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround?

Not going to provide an answer for you, unfortunately, but I have heard of similar issues.

I also use this feature for my kids' computers and have not had the same problem. Fortunately, it has worked as advertised. So, the good news is that it can work; the bad news is I am not sure how to fix your issue.

Maybe if there are parental control preferences (a .plist file, usually in a library's preferences folder--probably the user's library), those could be deleted and the machine will generate a new .plist file upon reboot. Sometimes corrupt preference files cause issues.

Good luck...
