This allows any local user to crash the system by hogging the CPU in a tight loop or locking down too much memory. But, it is simple to administer. :-) # modprobe realtime gid=29 All users belonging to group 29 and programs that are setgid to that group have realtime privileges. Use any group number you like. # modprobe realtime mlock=0 Grants realtime scheduling privileges without the ability to lock memory using mlock() or mlockall() system calls. This option can be used in conjunction with any of the other options. The JACK Audio Connection Kit (jackit.sourceforge.net) includes a jackstart program which uses CAP_SETPCAP to run the JACK daemon and its clients with realtime capabilities.
