Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2004-03-25 Severity: wishlist * Package name : realtime Version : 0.0.4 Upstream Author : Jack O'Quin * URL : http://www.joq.us/realtime/ * License : GPL Description : Realtime Linux Security Module
This Linux Security Module (LSM) enables realtime capabilities. It can be used to grant realtime permissions to a specific users group or applications. Therefore applications that require realtime scheduling don't have to be "suid" root anymore, which improves system security. Furthermore realtime scheduling can be set on a system wide level and turned off for specific runlevels. The module gets loaded via a init.d script. The default behaviour is to grant realtime permissions to users in the audio group, and applications that are "setgid" audio. This can be changed in a configuration file /etc/default/realtime.conf. The module works with with 2.6 kernel only. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux xdv 2.4.22-1-686 #1 Fri Sep 5 23:04:29 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
