I want to increase the number of semaphores and semaphore identifiers
on our 4.1 Ultrix risc machine. I could not find a word about this in
the documentation (please point me to anything I may have missed), so
I added two lines to the kernel configuration file:
options SEMMNI="40"
options SEMMNS="100"
and ran 'doconfig'. However, the newly booted kernel apparently has
exactly the same number of semaphores and identifiers as the old one.
What did I do wrong?
BTW, if Ultrix has a kernel malloc(), why would one impose a maximum
number of semaphores at all?
