Yeah, I know how to make sand castles in the sky. What makes the group 'cdrom' special on Fedora that it can raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK? (Read "special" as something along the lines of suid.) This isn't just about me fixing my system. This is about fixing it the "Fedora way" so that future updates don't break what I do. It is also about documenting this for others who run into the same problem. Thank you, -- I reason and act, therefore, ken_i_m "Doing my part to spread the free and open software (FOSS) memes".
