I believe that post/wait driver has to be loaded from /etc/system or some other config file. Oracle tries to use post/wait driver for inter process communication because, generally speaking, it's faster then semaphores. There used to be a parameter called "use_pw" or "post_wait" or something like that. It is likely an undocumented parameter which is platform specific. It's the very same device driver that has to be loaded into jAIX as a kernel extension when installing oracle on jAIX. Obviously, oracle on Slowaris doesn't perform that install automatically, as the one on jAIX so system admin has the pleasure all for himself.
