This can be useful if JACK was compiled with DBus support but should run on a headless system. +\fB$JACK_PROMISCUOUS_SERVER\fR enables an alternate way of handling the various +shared resources (Unix sockets, semaphores, ...). In this mode, the generated +names will not contain the user id anymore, and the permissions of those +resources will be relaxed, allowing clients from different users to talk with +the same server. Moreover, on platforms that support it (all POSIX variants), +if set to a valid Unix group name or id, the permissions will be restricted to +that group, so only members of that group will be able to launch clients that +talk to this server.
