	That is pathetic as a password on a Windows machine could
replaced or totally removed by use of Linux tool.

	Not so easily done since Windows 8 but still possible.
	You don't say which Linux distribution you are using but
on the Mandriva derived Mageia, PCLOS and Open Mandriva there are
plenty of places to control access.  If you were to set up separate
guest accounts for adults and for children you could easily
manage this.
	Of course you have to have a place to lock up your Linux
tools which could circumvent the limits on the accounts.
