  Description     : Realtime Linux Security Module

This Linux Security Module (LSM) enables realtime capabilities.
It can be used to grant realtime permissions to a specific users
group or applications. Therefore applications that require realtime
scheduling don't have to be "suid" root anymore, which improves
system security. Furthermore realtime scheduling can be set on a
system wide level and turned off for specific runlevels. The module
gets loaded via a init.d script. The default behaviour is to grant
realtime permissions to users in the audio group, and applications 
that are "setgid" audio. This can be changed in a configuration file
/etc/default/realtime.conf. The module works with with 2.6 kernel only.
