- Specific Instructions for a 2.4 Linux kernel
- --------------------------------------------
-
- Before using JACK in realtime mode with a 2.4 kernel, you may
- need or want to take the following steps. A better choice is
- to use a 2.6 kernel.
-
- 1) in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h find these lines
-
- #define CAP_INIT_EFF_SET to_cap_t(~0 & ~CAP_TO_MASK(CAP_SETPCAP))
- #define CAP_INIT_INH_SET to_cap_t(0)
-
- and change them to
-
- #define CAP_INIT_EFF_SET to_cap_t(~0)
- #define CAP_INIT_INH_SET to_cap_t(~0)
-
- then recompile your kernel and boot it. (Note that the above lines
- are from linux 2.4.19; it may be different if you're using a
- different version)
-
- NB: This may expose your system to local denial of service attacks.
- If it is a shared system or server, you should assess the impact of
- enabling capabilities in the context of your overall system security
- requirements.
-
- 2) install libcap from
- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.4/
-
- 3) if you're using a journalling filesystem, mount some directory with
- -t tmpfs and use this with JACK's configure step as the
- argument to --with-default-tmpdir.
-
- 4) use --enable-capabilities with JACK's configure step
