New Revision: 25955

Added:
   moonbase/trunk/security/set_rlimits/
   moonbase/trunk/security/set_rlimits/DETAILS
Log:
Program added. Acts as a workaround because RLIMIT_RTPRIO and RLIMIT_NICE (which are important to get jackd and PAM running in realtime mode as a normal user) are not supported by our glibc and bash versions.

+cat << EOF
+Small program written to give unpriviledged users access to 
+realtime scheduling via the new rlimits added to kernel 2.6.12. 
+The new name reflects the fact that the program can control 
+resource limits rather than just those related to realtime
+priorities. This new version adds a more flexible configuration 
+file format, easier command line use and the ability to control 
+the memlock resource limit.
