[linux-audio-dev] jack and setuid

Hello Lists,
I don't know, where ich can fix my little problem. Maybe i 've missed some
explanations and/or haven't read my mails good enough. anyway, i try to
install a linuxbox for audio on slackware
i have installed slackware and patching the kernel 2.6.14 vanilla with
patch-2.6.14-rt2. Then i installed the set_rtlimits1.1.0 software, because
Slackware has no PAM.
First. this must be all for audio in realtime , is this right??

then i have to set the setuid. aus root i have done
bash-3.00$ su
Password:
bash-3.00# chmod ugo+s /usr/local/bin/jackd
bash-3.00# exit
bash-3.00$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/jackd
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 206476 2005-11-01 15:23 /usr/local/bin/jackd
bash-3.00$ whoami

bash-3.00$ jackd -dalsa&
