hello,
i was confused: i thought _rt_limits (realtime-limits and not resources-limits) is an
additional pam-module which is NOT included in the ubuntu libpam-modules package.
since pam is the standard in every newer distribution (also breezy and debian sarge)
it is (of course) easier to edit /etc/security/limits.conf then to compile the
realtime-lsm.
(as i understand the ubuntustudio-rlimits-patch only adds the "@audio"
entries.)
i did not know that it also works.
thank you,

hi all,
i don't get it! in which ubuntu package (dapper or breezy) are the
rtlimits-pam-modules?
they are not in the libpam-modules package.
dana@polly:~$ dpkg -L libpam-modules | grep limits
/etc/security/limits.conf
/lib/security/pam_limits.so
i'm using ubuntu breezy with a self-compiled
kernel (2.6.14-ck9) with
realtime-lsm.
BTW, why is the realtime-lsm method deprecated? i think it is
safe. PAM is quite delicate (that's why i don't want to build it myself).
It doesn't matter what you want or what you think, it's deprecated. You
can continue using it until your distro drops it if you want. It makes
no difference.
Since you are on Ubuntu, when you upgrade to Dapper, you do NOT need
realtime-lsm anymore.
In the meantime, on debian and Ubuntu Breezy, PAM is not "delicate" - in
fact is it very simple to patch PAM for rlimits support.
