It should Just Work with the FC5 kernel. In fact there is no config option to disable the nice and rtprio rlimits. This is why it's easier than realtime LSM - no kernel patching is required. > PS: I read the thread, but the e-mail containing the pam controls was > accidentally erased, were those the ones needed with this patch? Add to /etc/security/limits.conf something like: * hard rtprio 99 * hard nice -20 * soft nice -20 * hard memlock 500000 There is some anecdotal evidence that "memlock" does not work. I have not investigated it yet. Lee
