Thanks for the responses to my question on why message queues work on one Sun but not others. I had several phone calls and e-mail to date, all with the right answer -- which was to reconfigure the kernal. There is a configuration file in /sys/sun3/conf (/sys/sun4/conf for Sun 4's) which lists the options to include in the kernal. I needed the following options defined: options IPCMESSAGE # System V IPC message facility options IPCSEMAPHORE # System V IPC semaphore facility options IPCSHMEM # System V IPC shared-memory facility Rebuilding the kernal on each of these machine my code did not work on got everything to work just fine. I've tried to answer all the e-mail with a personal word of thanks but all my mail is bouncing at the moment. Again thanks for the calls and mail. It was a great help!! -- Chuck Noren NET: ncar!dinl!noren US-MAIL: Martin Marietta I&CS, MS XL8058, P.O. Box 1260, Denver, CO 80201-1260 Phone: (303) 971-7930
