[hobbit] shm error on Solaris 8

try running "ulimit -a" and see if you are being limited as to how many open files or memory you can access. If so you can change the limit to unlimited.

I've modified /etc/system to include: set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=7 and rebooted... but I still get the exact same error. What else must be changed for Solaris 8 ?

I saw a problem similar to mine on this thread:
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00667.html
My situation may be a little different though. In my case I've
been tasked with running a hobbit instance in parallel with an
existing bb4 instance ON THE SAME HOST. I've modified my
hobbitserver.cfg to run on port 1985 but I get the same error in
/var/log/hobbitlaunch.log as David observed. A section of the logs
follows (similar messages repeat):
2006-09-27 12:48:56 hobbitlaunch starting

2006-09-27 12:48:56 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1

Help? I'm not comfortable tweaking kernel parameters. Can someone
walk me through it?Should it solve my problems? Can hobbit and bb4
co-exist on the same host?
