Need Help Locking Services

I'm making an user account that locks down all the "fun" stuff in Gentoo to prevent me from slacking when I should be doing work. I'm having trouble figuring out how to lock some of the stuff down.

1. I need to lock down TTYs. I want it so that once my noslack account logs in from console and starts X, it won't be able to use CTRL-ALT-F# to switch to other consoles. This is to prevent me from trying to emerge something every 10 minutes (emerge is evil!!!).

2. I want to disable internet on the noslack account. I know I can just lock the browsers and the IMs or smething... but I may need the browser to open some HTML files etc. Also, unplugging the network cable is kind of a huge hassle; I want to avoid having to do that everytime.

3. I want to lock down sound service so I don't waste time trying to decide which songs to listen to while I work.

Thanks for your help guys:)
I better stop lurking on the forums and get back to work -_-''

1. You should be able to have a custom XF86Config with DontVTSwitch enabled for that user in /etc/X11 and startx with the -xf86config <filename> command line option. Haven't tried it myself, though.

2. Pass

3. Is it enough if the user is not member of the audio group?
