[mythtv-users] MythTV refuses to run SUID

Interesting.  I'll look into this one a little more.  I noticed on Gentoo that 
all the stuff necessary seems to be there already to pull this one off, 
except in /etc/security/limits.conf the commented "template" does not show a 
rt_priority option, although it does show just "priority" so I don't know if 
they're different or if I just don't have that rt functionality in my current 
version of PAM.  Thanks for the tip though, this seems pretty cool.
