CoreAudio and Parental Controls.

[Andrew Bob]

Hi everyone,
I am currently managing a educational facility that runs 1x Pro Tools HD rig and 3x Pro Tools LE rigs (PowerMac G5s, OS X 10.4.x, Pro Tools 7.4.x, Digi 002 Mixers)

I am trying to "lock" down these machines so that general users have access to what they need access to and not to other controls (such as safari, system pref etc).
There is the built in Parental Controls with Mac OS X (10.4) and it has the option to allow or deny access to specific programs.

What I'm having trouble with is allowing the DigiCoreAudio manager allow access. It doesn't appear in the list of "parental control" applications and if I try and manually add it - it complains that it can't work with this program.

Does anyone know a work around this?

The goal for anyone wondering is to allow other programs (such as Final Cut Studio and it's collection of programs), Logic 7 and other programs to use the studio monitors connected to the Digi 002. Because there are no other speakers connected to the Power Mac.

Any help or advice would be great. Or even an alternative program to use instead of the built in parental controls.

Thanks
