1.16) How can I enable System V IPC? Ipcs says it isn't configured in.

There's nothing you need to do to enable System V IPC, but on boot up "ipcs" always says:

	IPC status from <running system> as of <date>
	Message Queue facility not in system.
	Shared Memory facility not in system.
	Semaphore facility not in system.

This just means that no one has yet used the Message Queue/Shared Memory or Semaphore facility yet. They'll be loaded on first use.

If you really want to have them loaded at boot time, add the following to /etc/system:

	forceload: sys/msgsys
	forceload: sys/semsys
	forceload: sys/shmsys

In Solaris 7, ipcs will report the unloaded facilities as inactive rather than "not present in system".
