Forget to add...
In my code, I use
if ((shmid = shmget(shmkey,sizeof(mdc),IPC_CREAT | 0640)) == -1)
err(1,"shmget");
to create a shared segment and
if ((shmid = shmget(shmkey,sizeof(mdc),0)) == -1)
err(1,"shmget");
to get an id for already created segment.
Both are failing under non-root vimage jail, but it works under main host. At
first I thought shared memory is not yet virtualized, but ipcs display
existing segments in both root/main host and vnet jail.ipcrm, however, works
only in non-jailed host...
ipcrm: shmid(131072): : Function not implemented
