Parental Controls

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to enable/administer parental  
controls for an account that is purely network based?  i.e. the users  
are authenticated via NIS and their home directories are on an NFS  
server.  Think library/daycare/school with many Macs and many  
children's accounts on a common NIS/NFS server.

A solution where a global setting on the Macs said "all users are  
subject to parental controls" but allowed exceptions would be good, as  
would something similar to the "Allow user to administer this  
computer" check box in the Accounts system preference -- although the  
latter is more difficult to administer when new children are added.
