I'm noticing a problem with an Oracle installation on a grsec enable kernel which may be due to grsec, namely, that when I do a base install of Oracle, it fails with an error "Unable to attach to share memory segments".
The Oracle Release notes indicate that this is most often caused by misconfiguration of the SHMMAX, but I've changed the kernel to their specifications and it still fails. I have also disabled all grsec options that are configurable with sysctl, and this seems to have no effect. I've configured the kernel according to the instructions in the most recent LFS book. Can anyone suggest whether a different kernel option for the PAX/Grsecurity kernel might address this. I would rather not disable Grsecurity, entirely. Thanks.
