Login Issue

I have three 'managed w/ parental control' accounts set up on my wife's iMac, which is running 10.5.2. Each of the accounts has time limitations. If the user lets the time run out, Leopard logs them out but automatically logs them back in the next morning without any warning. Is there a way to stop Leopard from logging these accounts on automatically?

bump!

I'm assuming the "automatic login" is disabled?

Are you using the "bedtime" option?

Also, have you updated to 10.5.3? Make sure to repair permissions afterwards.

Parental Controls

• Addresses reliability issues with application logging and time limits.
• Resolves an issue in which Parental Controls may prevent forced sleep.
• Addresses performance issues with web content filters.
• Fixes an issue with managed accounts in which iChat transcripts may not be created.

Yes automatic login is disabled and the bedtime option is being used, as well.

Any luck with the update and repairing permissions?
if not, I'd look for corrupt preference files. Try OnyX or download Preferential Treatment.

I haven't tried repairing permissions yet. The 10.5.3 update seems to have corrected whatever problem I was having. There was no one automatically logged on this morning. If it comes back tomorrow morning I'll try repairing permissions.

Good to hear!
You may want to repair permissions anyways, especially after updates or installs. It can actually stop problems from happening.
