rmuser error - shared memory

[Lubomir Matousek]

Thanks very much Bill and James. Hana vs hanka is only typo at this mail
(hana is correct, as it is in my box).
I apologize for this incorrect information.


Bill, you are right, the kernel was build without shared memory support.
Option SYSVSHM is not included in the kernel.

As I cannot recompile the kernel on this production server now, can be there
any impact on instability of my system with missing SYSVSHM option?

Personally, I'm unsure where the "problem" is.  The only suspicious thing
I see is the inability to remove shared memory segments, which is a bit
strange but not wholly unexpected.  Did you build a kernel without shared
memory?
