My original question. I set a value for shminfo_shmmax in /etc/system, but adb(1) showed zero. Is this normal behaviour? I also logged a call with Sun. I got several replies, and spoke to a Sun level 3 support engineer. The short answer is no-one seems to know, but it doesn't seem to matter. Hutin Bertrand pointed out that you can get info about active IPC stuff including shared memory allocations with ipcs -a. Greg Polanski shared some of his experiences with Trend Micro products with me. Thanks guys! A couple of people suggested that the value should have been base 10 instead of hex. However, that is probably incorrect. I tried it with decimal, and have set other kernel variables successfully with hex. Most likely these are being parsed by strtol(3C) that handles octel, decimal, and hexadecimal constants correctly by default. Regarding the issues I was having with the Trend Micro installation program, I will post that saga later today. Finally, apparently Manfred Grammel now works for another company, and Ulrich Karch is on holidays until the end of the month 8-) -- Russell Page.
