[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1286047, member: 51052"] I'm going from memory here, but I believe this is actually working as designed. First, you set the rule to limit applications. This then requires that you specify ONLY ALLOWED applications. As far as I know, Parental Controls is not smart enough to deduce which other processes are going to be called by the parent. That said, the OTHER behavior is (IMO) unusual. Being logged out after entering your administrative password shouldn't happen. It should also allow you to 'always allow'. I would create a NEW account, try the parental controls on that one and see if the results are identical. In addition, I would make sure that you have the 10.7.1 update applied to this machine. If all else fails, I'd do a clean install of the operating system (and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd use migration assistant to move the users back either, which would mean manual restore from backup, at least for me) [/QUOTE]
