John, I guess you're right, in a way. But actually, it -is- easy to change so they are effective at the next boot. it seems all you need to do is encode these values in /etc/sysctl.conf, then reboot.
As we know with VM it's not always a good idea to try to change certain operating system values while the system runs. The purpose of my question was to find out if someone knew that it's -always- safe to change values such as these while Linux runs. (Maybe that's a hard-and-fast rule regarding the externalization of the kernal settings... maybe not.) My goal in asking was to attempt to avoid an unneeded outage if possible. -----Original Message----- From: John Summerfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 3:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Semaphores > Is there a way to change "on the fly" the semaphores per userid?
