[PlanetCCRMA] Running JACK as non-root user

[jean-baptiste.mestelan]

Hello,

many thanks to the CCRMA Planet project for allowing me to
build up a FC2 Linux DAW on ; I have been working on this for
the last couple of months and managed to get fairly decent
results.

A few things are still unclear to me though, and I will be
gradually posting my questions if you are so kind as to lend
them an ear :

1) JACK will only execute if run by root. 
I have tried to solve this by activating the realcap kernel
module as suggested by Fernando
(http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/changelog.html#latestplanetcoretwo)

Here is the output of qjackctl :

My kernel is a 2.6.7-1.437.1.ll.rhfc2.ccrmacustom, which I
recompiled for NTFS suport.
#dmesg will display :
Realtime LSM enabling all capabilities
Realtime LSM initialized (no groups, mlock=1)

I would be glad to hear any solutions you may have found to
work this out ?
Kind regards.
