thanks paul,
bash-3.00# chmod ugo+s /usr/local/bin/jackd

bash-3.00$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/jackd

this is a really, really, really bad thing to do.
yes, i have read that, because
of security. but don't know a better way.
there is no reason to
run jackd as root or set it up as setuid root. you should be using some
kernel-based technique that allows you to get realtime priviledges
without being root (capabilities on 2.4 kernels, realtime-lsm for 2.6.12
or lower, or the new rtlimits code for 2.6.13 or above).
since i'm using
2.6.14 , you mean set_rtlimits from
http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~jwoithe/set_rtlimits-1.1.0.tgz ?
but if i run jack as a user, there are no capture ports, and i have tons of
xruns.
Just for completeness sake: You can use the realtime lsm for 2.6.13 and
above, too. I would even recommend it, since it's much less of a hassle
to setup (rt_limits being the "correct" solution or not).
