What??? Did you ever do administration for more then one computer???

yp/nis/ldap/Active Directory.

are checked for that user, the rights are gone.

Arnold, still trying to understand why any distribution should now use 
RealtimeKit after not really using rtlimits in PAM (except for the new run for 
"Kits")
