Well, I do as suggested above, but I use:
realtime any=1
What's the significance of using mlock?
It enables programs to lock memory using the mlock() and mlockall()
system calls. Since mlock=1 is the default, leaving it off has no
effect. If you don't need to lock memory, setting mlock=0 will remove
that capability.
BTW, I recommend using the `gid' option instead of `any'. It provides
noticeably better security for very little extra effort.
