I'm not a programmer, just a Linux user, but the SHM??? defines are in
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h.

These are defines in the source code. Can they really be changed at run
time? I thought the source had to be recompiled to change them. Also,
can we agree on a single group, such as comp.unix.programmer, to
continue this thread? This cross-posting is ridiculous. For those who
would disagree on the choice of group, I think clarification of how to
change kernel defines would be somewhat generic for unix. I've been
wrong before...
