the thing to check are the permissions on the nodes under /dev/shm/jack

the main (only) thing that the promiscuous server does is to change those permissions so that people other than the user that started jack can access them. your umask or other system settings might interfere with this.

Seems like jack_client_open() fails. Unless the user is the same
one that started jackd. JACK_PROMISCUOUS_SERVER defined for both
server and clients.

jackd version 0.121.3 tmpdir /dev/shm protocol 24

downloaded and installed today.
