Hi All...
I just created a Debian Etch 32bit VPS and installed Asterisk, per the wiki
instructions. When I start it, it starts and keeps running, but it reports:
Starting Asterisk PBX: Unable to set high priority
Is this fixable and, if not, is it a problem? What causes it?
Thanks...

Jim,
I guess because it tried to change scheduling policy to something like SCHED_FIFO
or SCHED_RR, which are real-time priorities and can't be set w/o CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
Nothing bad should happen if you don't run other CPU hungry services in this VE.
Also, you can grant CAP_SYS_ADMIN to VE with vzctl, but this is highly insecure
and not recommended.
Thanks,
Kirill
