I was under the impression that the developers of pam changed this when
they merged in the patch. So yes, with the patch it is rt_priority (and
that is what I am still using and what works), but with pam > 0.80 it
should be rtprio. (You can browse the source code at sourceforge to
convince yourself.) Why this does not work on Suse (which has pam
>= .80, to the best of my knowledge) I don't know.
