kchildlock is a tool to monitor and restrict the time a children spends on the computer. The limits can be specified per day of the week, by lower and upper hour limits, maximum daily usage time, and maximum weekly usage time. The same restriction limits can be applied to applications based on the user login. It requires the KDE4 Desktop.

sorry for posting it also in the knowledge base, this is where it should be maybe?)
It is installed, the interface comes up and lets you define limits, apply and save them, export profiles etc... just as explained in the documentation, no warning at all. Both when launched from the system settings panel and from the command line as /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kcm_kchildlock --lang en_US
then when the users whose sessions should be time-limited log in, nothing at all happens. No system tray icon and above all no block /logoff or whatever else should happen after the specified time limits.
files **are** created in /var/lock/, with names like kchildlockd_20121214_094614_debuglog.tmp, but they have no effect at all. No warning is generated in any moment, and I can't find any log file anywhere related to kchildlock. Is this app working for others??? How to debug it?
Thanks,
M

If that does not work, please send me the debug files under /var/opt/kchildlock/ including .kch_time.dat and /usr/share/kde4/config/kchildlockrc*
and /root/.kde4/share/config/kchildlockrc*

my question is. Can I use kchildlock as a router software on Kubuntu ?
I like to make a router with firewall and proxy server with ip adress connected to mac-Adress.
So will be nice to take this software connected to a ip adresss or a group of ip adresses too.
So it will be a nice way to block the connection by time for my child.
Thanks for your reply...

I have the users running the icewm desktop because it uses less memory than KDE. KDE4 is installed.
I would like to have the daemon running no matter what desktop they select (KDE, gnome, icewm, etc).
I'm running openSuSE 11.2.
Is there some way to get the daemon to autostart for any environment? Perhaps copy/move one of the .desktop files to /etc/xdg/autostart?

I hope you will be able to incorporate it with other desktops. Many people seem to like gnome, icewm, etc, also.
I'm using icewm on the machine in question because it doesn't use as much memory and the machine only has 512MB of ram.
Will keep checking and looking for a new release.
