Comment(by antonio@xxxxxxxx):

 Hi,
 with the 2.6 kernels mlock() is available, that will allow a non-root user
 to perform what wasn't possible before.
 Back in the debian bugtracker a patch was provided for this:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=102;filename=patch-1.5.13.pw.pgpmlock.1;att=1;bug=96144

 Do you think that this patch can be included in the next release(s) or do
 you prefer to update your doc?
