While I commend her in being so geeky and security conscious at such a young age, her parents *should* and absolutely, positively *have to* be able to monitor and limit the time she spends on the computer and the activities she can perform there. It is an absolute no-no to allow a kid the use of a computer unsupervised. Find an adequate authentication mechanism (Lunix should have some kind of pictogram thing or graphical thingumabob to allow her in without much head banging on her side and still keep the computer secure while giving her parents full access to the machine to oversee her time on it)

Anyhoo, my 2 cents.
