 before the deadline. Do you know anyone who would help out with this?

 In theory it should be easy - bash, PAM, and glibc all support the new
 rlimits in their development versions, I just have to backport the
 patches to whatever is in Dapper right now... we'll see how hard that
 is.  The bash maintainers have been helpful, and hopefully that glibc
 patch still applies... 
 Can someone point me to the patch against PAM 0.79, I remember it was
 posted here a while back...

Lee,

I saw your ancient bugreport #17348 
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/17348), Will Dyson 
added a patch recently 
(http://librarian.launchpad.net/1510182/pam-rtlimits.patch) to it which seems 
to be good (it works for me on Kubuntu Dapper).

As mentioned by Dana, I've added a howto for rtprio-aware PAM on Dapper to his 
wiki at http://ubuntustudio.com/wiki/index.php/Rlimits-Aware_PAM_with_Dapper

Concerning glibc and bash, there are patches at 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2005-06/msg00005.html and for bash 
in Fedora CVS at 
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/bash/devel/bash-ulimit.patch

I've patched glibc-2.3.5 and bash on a linuxfromscratch-based system 
successfully, but I can't tell whether these work on Dapper, since bash 
failed to rebuild for me (unpatched). I'm new to Debian packaging, so maybe I 
screwed something up.

I'm very interested to see this move into Dapper before freeze, so if I can 
help, please ask me to.
