it would be hard to block as if you tried to block the port, the user could just change the port that iChat or AIM operates on, and you could change the user permissions for that particular program, but it wouldnt stop them from downloading it again |

If iChat is installed, drag it into the Trash Can. If AIM is installed, drag it into the Trash Can. Ditto for any other instant messaging clients. |

It is important to know the nature of your needs. If, for example, you are trying to limit your child's access from iChat and AIM, log in to an account with administrative permissions, open system preferences, and click on the accounts pane. Click on the account you are trying to disallow, click on the security button, and make sure "Allow user to administer this computer" is unchecked. This will allow you to administer the user's abilities, and keep the user from changing prefrences and re-installing these apps. Under the accounts name it should say somthing to the effect of "Managed" and not "Administrator". Then click on the limitations button, and click on "This user can only use these applications:" Und use the pane to disallow iChat and AIM. This should solve your problem, unless you haven't created multiple accounts. I highly suggest that you talk to the user you are blocking along with any actions you take, because almost any limitations you make could potentially be sidesteped. |
