Hiding what's in the menus doesn't prevent someone from running a program that could be launched by them. If you have seperate user accounts, and you should, then how one user uses their login shouldn't affect the other. If you're letting your son have root access, then you're hosed no matter what you try to hide. For basic security that'll require someone opening up the box to bypass; make only the hard drive bootable in the BIOS, password protect the BIOS, password protect the GRUB boot menu from changes and choices that can be used to boot up alternatively in a compromisable manner. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
