Okay, I wasn't sure. I knew rlimits were put into kernel 2.6.12, but I

I haven't installed Dapper yet, but I will
soon on a second hard drive.
But, judging by the comments I've read elsewhere, PAM is not yet set
up in Dapper for rt stuff. I thought that it required a patch and a
special config? I don't know anything really about it at this point,
but someone emailed me and said they knew how and would email me back
with the howto, or add it to my site.
I agree with you, but it is pretty easy to get the realtime-lsm module
installed, or to use the set_rlimits app. But PAM is the best option
from all I've read, and would make that part of the puzzle much
easier.
It was added to glibc 6 months ago, shortly after it was added to the
kernel. And I have heard that the latest version of PAM supports it.

So, unless the Ubuntu devs really drop the ball, this should be in the
next release.
I've asked about it on the Ubuntu lists, and am checking the Dapper
sources to be sure.
