Great, thanks David, my output looks similar to this and certainly no
mention of any realtime anything.

Surely there is a URL to a doc somewhere explaining how to apply the
realtime settings to a kernel and where the PAM patch is and how to
set it up ?

Has anyone got an example of how to configure /etc/security/limits.conf
once the PAM patch is applied ?
