running pam 0.79-3 (at least I have:
 # dpkg -l | grep libpam
ii  libpam-modules                             0.79-3                     
          Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM
ii  libpam-runtime                             0.79-3                     
          Runtime support for the PAM library
ii  libpam0g                                   0.79-3                     
          Pluggable Authentication Modules library
ii  libpam0g-dev                               0.79-3                     
          Development files for PAM
).

I've changed my limits.conf to:

# added by Marius for Mythfrontend:
*                -       rtprio    0
*                -       nice            0
@mythtv          -       rtprio     50
@mythtv          -       nice            0

# End of file

but I'm still getting this when I run mythfrontend (as user mythtv):

2006-01-22 21:57:59.905 TV: Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2006-01-22 21:57:59.942 Realtime priority would require SUID as root.
2006-01-22 21:57:59.961 Video timing method: RTC

What have I misunderstood?
Do I need more of PAM?

Cheers

Marius
