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-)

If I don't know what I'm talking about, how do I know when I've finished?
