I've got Interactive Unix 2.2. In my mtune file, it says:
SEMMNI 10 10 10
This I understand tells idtune to limit me to a max of 10 semaphores.
Is this artificial? Can I change the max to something larger, say 100
semaphores? Ten is not enough for the things I'm doing.

For many of the things in the mtune file, someone has picked what they think is a "reasonable" maximum and not what is really the "true" maximum. This is the case with the ULIMIT parameter and probably the SEMMNI parameter as well. The only way to know is to change it, rebuild the kernel, and reboot. -- Conor P.
