Here's a summary of the answers to :
|> How do you increase the max. size of shared memory segment

|>
According to Ken Shackelford they should be found in the following manual.
"SunOS 5.1 Aministrering Security, Performance, and Accounting... "
Appendix A, Tuning Kernel Parameters.
However, I've only got the machine without any manual nor the answerbook.
I've found out the answer myself via dumping the symbol lists
with "/usr/ccs/bin/nm /kernel/sys/{shmsys,semsys}".

Thanks a lot to the following contributors.
