Description Gérard B4 2011-03-09 16:30:22 UTC 
When setting timing limitation for session or browsing for a user, it simply does nothing more than a pop-up window saying how much time is remaining, but nothing blocks that user at end of allowed time.

Problem seen with Nanny 2.29.4-0ubuntu1 , on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS together with
Firefox 3.6.15 , bot other french users have also reported similar problem on http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=416280
Comment 1 Gérard B4 2011-03-09 16:47:07 UTC 
Additionnal info if it might help: I also have the firewall UFW (and its interface GUFW) running on my PC. Could it be that it would interfere with Nanny?
I have copied the resulting iptables in http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=416280&p=2 if this might help bug investigation.
Comment 2 Des Greer 2011-06-04 09:06:03 UTC 
I have the same problem with version 2.31.1. The UI allows me to add time limits but they are never enforced - either for using the machine or for web browsing. Also blacklist has no effect at all.
Comment 3 Vincent 2011-06-17 19:43:12 UTC 
Same problem with version : 2.31.1-0ubuntu4 on Ubuntu 11.04.
How is it possible that this bug is not confirmed?
Comment 4 Vincent 2011-06-17 20:13:54 UTC 
As a workaround, Timekpr works like a charm on Ubuntu, see https://launchpad.net/~timekpr-maintainers
Comment 5 Clemente Aguiar 2012-04-29 12:30:12 UTC 
I have the same problem, i.e. time limit is not enforced.
Running Gentoo AMD64.

The last Nanny code changes took place more than two years ago:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/nanny/log/

This project is not under active development anymore.

This project has been recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
