fedora-music-list hosted a thread[1] recently on making it easier to run the jack-audio-connection-kit server. It's a bit of a mess right now because users have to manually edit /etc/security/limits.conf before anything will run. In order to clean things up, it was proposed that Fedora come pre-installed with a jackuser entry in /etc/group, as well as including the following in /etc/security/limits.conf... @jackuser - rtprio 20 @jackuser - memlock 131072 Then users simply need to be added to the jackuser group in order to run jackd and associated applications. I believe this models what other distros are doing to support jack users. We could even have a consolehelper enabled wrapper to ask users if they want to be added to this group if they aren't already when the run qjackctl. Most of the discussion is captured in mail threads referenced by this bugzilla entry.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221785 So, if this sounds like a sane thing to do for Fedora 7, do I simply file bugzilla issues against the setup and pam packages (which own /etc/group and /etc/security/limits.conf respectively). Any comments?
