(inspired by the recent Pd workshop in London) i have just put pd and jack on Gentoo(kernel 2.6.9) and realized that jack only runs as root, as a result pd has to be as root to connect to jack.

i was looking for solution to this on the net and found this "realtime-lsm" kernel modules that i can perhaps use which will perhaps solve the problem. is this the right thing to use? or is there a option i need to set in compiling the kernel?

realtime-lsm is the way to go. On Debian, you could use the package by Guenther to compile it very easily. I'm sure, there also are Gentoo packages for realtime-lsm modules. You need to run a kernel with LSM enabled and so on but this is all in the docs of the kernel module.

yes

or is there a option i need to set in compiling the kernel?

you need to enable the security modules to be able to use rt-lsm, my .config looks like this:

CONFIG_SECURITY=y CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
