Have you tried using the realtime LSM instead of rtcap? I think it
ought to work, but haven't tested it with Muse, myself. That is safer
than setuid root, IMHO.
Yep.. its
0.6.3 and jack is run through qjackctl with realtime option.
Muse is compiled with rtcap so it is not suid (thought it was safer..)
but if I do change it to suid and then start with -R, it starts okay
with no error messages...?? Maybe rtcap does not enable enough realtime
capabilities!!?
This is a possibility, it's a bug in that case, I have a vague memory of
something similar being reported some time ago. As for running MusE suid, this is in itself not a
problem unless your machine
is compromised, in which case you someone use it to lock up the machine
(which is equally true for rtcap:ed muse). The prospect that someone has
bothered to find a security hole in MusE to gain control of a machine through
it's suid usage seems a tad unlikely.
There are a few people on the net with way too much time on their
hands. :-(
