ROOT PRIVILEGE ON MUSE
======================

Due to the security issue, the binary file of muse is installed without
setuid-root privilege.
MusE requires the root privilege for accessing the RTC (real-time clock)
device with higher resolution.  Thus, if you start muse as default,
you'll hear only very slow playbacks.

For starting muse, please choose the following way:

1. Start via sudo

At first, you need to configure sudo to accept to start muse.
  - Become root user and run visudo

% su
	# visudo

- Add the following line:

your-login-name  ALL = /usr/bin/muse

where your-login-name is the your login name.

- Exit visudo, and return to the normal user mode.

- Run muse via sudo

% sudo /usr/bin/muse

2. Set uid-root

(Note: this _might_ lead to a security problem, although it's not
   known, so far.)

Run the following as root user:

# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/muse

Then muse will run always with root privilege.

REMOVAL OF STK PLUGINS
======================

Due to potential license problems, we removed stk plugins from rpm.
