Hi, Jack and Rivendell's daemons all need to be running as the same user or else they won't see each other.
If you are running the appliance CD / CentOS you can use the option in rdadmin to have Rivendell start Jack with rdadmin --> Manage Hosts --> Jack settings. Doing this it'll start both caed and jack as the same user (root) and it'll all see each other. But the challenge is if you want to use other Jack based applications on the same workstation - you would normally want to run these as the logged in user rather then root. If run as the logged in user they won't see Jack when it is all started this way. You could have Rivendell start up Jack and also start up all the Jack based applications that you want to run. You can do this with the "jack clients to start" option. But this might not be what you want - as it will start those clients as root. It'll also start them all up when Rivendell starts up which is probably not what you want. I should also note that on some of the versions of Ubuntu / Debian having Rivendell start Jack doesn't always work as expected. Another option that has been used (specifically on some of the documentation out there about getting Rivendell running on Ubuntu) has been to run the rivendell daemons as the logged in user rather then as root. If you delay the start of the 3 daemons until after Jack is started, running Jack as the logged in user and then starting up the Rivendell daemons as the logged in user, it'll all see each other and you'll be able to launch other Jack-aware apps. However as Fred has pointed out on numerous occasions this is not the recommended way of running the daemons, both from a security standpoint and from a standpoint that some other things don't work as they should.
