As mentioned by Dana, I've added a howto for rtprio-aware PAM on Dapper to his wiki at http://ubuntustudio.com/wiki/index.php/Rlimits-Aware_PAM_with_Dapper Concerning glibc and bash, there are patches at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2005-06/msg00005.html and for bash in Fedora CVS at http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/bash/devel/bash-ulimit.patch I've patched glibc-2.3.5 and bash on a linuxfromscratch-based system successfully, but I can't tell whether these work on Dapper, since bash failed to rebuild for me (unpatched). I'm new to Debian packaging, so maybe I screwed something up. I'm very interested to see this move into Dapper before freeze, so if I can help, please ask me to. Wolfgang
