Does anyone have any experience with Distributed IPC Queues in a RT Cluster: () Modem 135 and a Model 125 () AIX V2.2.0 () Distributed Services 1.2 Specifically, I can't seem to define keys longer than seven digits long, even though, my program on a call to ftok() returns keys eight digits long. Am I missing something? Sean Conway Adelie Corporation sean@adelie.Adelie.COM

Of those keys, the ones available to users were: 0x30000 - 0xfffff -- keys returned by create_ipc_prof(3) 0x10000000 - 0xffffffff - keys returned by ftok(3) The rest of the keys are unavailable. ---Jason
