+Most tests in the rt-tests suite change their scheduling policy and so need
+the privileges to do so.
+To give these privileges to non-root users you can add the following line to
+/etc/security/limits.conf:
+
+ @users - rtprio 20
+
+Note that you probably don't want to do that on a system with untrusted users.
+See limits.conf(5) and sched_setscheduler(2) for details.
