Someone linked to a page for Breezy earlier from my wiki, which IIRC

Lee,
Is that what is specifically required or do we need PAM updated AND
some new ebuild for set_rlimits?
One or the other - doing both would be pointless.
Actually if your distros glibc is also old then you may need to patch
PAM rather than upgrade it. Basically set_rtlimits should be considered a stopgap
measure to make
non-root SCHED_FIFO work until your distro gets it together and updates
their PAM and glibc ;-)
Or for users of Slackware or other such non-PAM-using distros. :)
See why I recommend just upgrading to a distro with a
quicker release
cycle?
Yup. Dapper is just a month and a half away from proper release. ;)
