Honestly, I think it is basically that easy, or has been the whole
time I've used the PAM method of allowing real-time operation for user
accounts. (Probably about 1 year now) Only this last week or two did
it fail for me.
Now, whether someone wants to run something from the command line or
someone has to add 3 lines to a config file shouldn't bee too big a
deal. We're Gentoo users here. We have to mess with config files all
the time. Actually, it's been my assumption that something in an
emerge -DuN world operation caused a config file to get changed and
somewhere along the way I did an etc-update operation and caused a
problem. I'm sure real-time works, with PAM, on Gentoo systems. It's
worked for me for at least a year and only just stopped, probably
because of something stupid I did and so far cannot find.
I'll find it eventually but in the meantime I appreciate everyone's
ideas as to where I should look.
Thanks,
Mark
