regulating browsing time

[Reid Wightman]

You could do an selinux policy also.  Give your web browsing programs a 
type, and set an selinux boolean via cron that allows those browsing 
programs the ability to open network sockets only during the appropriate 
times.

Any method is going to have a flaw, e.g. relying on proxys or firewall 
timers will mean the user can get creative and put a  proxy somewhere on 
the internet on a strange port (21, 22, 25, or some other port that 
you're not blocking).  SELinux is the most secure, if you're really 
interested ;-).  Of course, it will not work at all if the users are 
local administrators for their machines (like I say, any method will 
have a flaw).
