I have it running (although the memory profiles are a little strange -- anyone else running it who'll post a ps -aux?) The big thing is that this requires a kernel recompile--you need to turn on SYSV IPC . I ended up with the following in my kernel config: options SYSVSHM options "SHMMAXPGS=512" # 2048Kb (?) of sharable memory options SYSVSEM # enable for semaphores options SYSVMSG # enable for messaging I'm not sure that it really comes out to 2Meg of shareable memory, but you need at least SHMMAXPGS=128 to run the patch as it comes (out of the box). However, that expects your active file to only be 500000 bytes (mine's larger). I set mine to 700000 and 15000 groups and had to recompile the kernel to get it to not error. However, it won't core if you just have the SHMMAXPGS set too small--you'll just get some error when trying to connect to the server. > -- > Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) > Systems Administrator, Internex Online Inc. > "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't" > > Bryan K.
