I may be way off base here, but shouldn't SELinux or some sort of mandatory access control be the mechanism for allowing a user to run a process with RT scheduling? So the "system administrator" would set a policy that said "user paul may run the binary /usr/bin/ardour with SCHED_FIFO" etc.? There appears to be a LSM hook for both setscheduler and setrlimit. Why isn't this sufficient for Fedora? PAtch selinux-policy and be done with it. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
