I just did a search: http://www.google.ca/search?q=realtime+slackware+pam&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial The first link there, I clicked on it, and it says "The set_rtlimit program can be used to set rtlimits for specific applications in case your distro doesn't ship modified PAM and bash:" That page is a bit out of date if you read it, so I went to the homepage described there, http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~jwoithe Scroll down a bit and you'll see the new program, set_rlimits 1.2.0. You can get that and install & configure it, or just do what Lee says and use old realtime-lsm. Both methods work for me, although I run Ubuntu and use a patched and configured PAM. Dana
