reservation via session bus (DBus). This can be useful if JACK
was compiled with DBus support but should run on a headless system.

\fB$JACK_PROMISCUOUS_SERVER\fR enables an alternate way of handling the various
shared resources (Unix sockets, semaphores, ...). In this mode, the generated
names will not contain the user id anymore, and the permissions of those
resources will be relaxed, allowing clients from different users to talk with
the same server. Moreover, on platforms that support it (all POSIX variants),
if set to a valid Unix group name or id, the permissions will be restricted to
that group, so only members of that group will be able to launch clients that
talk to this server. Important note: it must be set with the same value for
both server and clients to work as expected.
