The shmem code works in a terminal server session with or without the patch. Magnus had a different problem, probably permissions. Since I do not have a non admin user (on a TS server) I disabled the win32_is_admin check. It is my opinion that we should allow pg to run as Admin on Windows, at least with an override option. Services that run under a specified user are a headache on Win32, because you need to store a password, and a lot of systems only have one user. > > I have attached a patch that I think fixes this.

If we want the shmem to be global on the machine we need the patch.
