Hello,
 I am writing a soft real time application for use on a cluster whose MPI
traffic goes over a secure network. (In a locked rack, only I have the
password to any machine on the network) Since it is soft real time, I'd like
to take advantage of Linux's SCHED_RR capabilities, but the kernel won't let
me do this unless I execute as root. Currently I've compiling my kernel to
allow any user to execute a SCHED_RR task, although this is unacceptable and
hackish. Is there a simple way to allow lam to let root to run MPI programs?
#defining LAM_ALLOW_RUN_AS_ROOT in ../lam-7.1.1/share/include/lam_config.h.in
and lam_config.h doesn't seem to do the trick. Any help is appreciated.
 Thanks,
Craig
