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.
Well, it means any user you add can't be removed from the group, but...
*shrug*. Still seems to be a hack.
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).
You can *not* add users in setup; you break the transaction due to
dependency loops. The group would need to be added attached to some
other package.
