Compiling kernel doesn't require console access - although it might be helpfull if you did something wrong. > The machine in question is serving as a web server (apache + php + > phpaccelerator), and has 1GB of RAM.

The reason is that your system uses a lot of shared memory, but shared memory doesn't have to be sysv shared memory. It's more likely that the memory used is mmaped data. Maybe your apache is sending a single big file on many connections the same time. The first check would be to see if you can avoid the situation completely, maybe by splitting extremly big and popular files. If this is not possible than you really have to increase the table as advised by the kernel. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
