In <systemitem class="osname">NetBSD</> 5.0 and later,

IPC parameters can be adjusted using <command>sysctl</command>,

for example:

<screen>

<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=16777216</userinput>

</screen>

To have these settings persist over reboots, modify

<filename>/etc/sysctl.conf</filename>.

You might also want to configure your kernel to lock shared

memory into RAM and prevent it from being paged out to swap.

This can be accomplished using the <command>sysctl</command>

setting <literal>kern.ipc.shm_use_phys</literal>.

The options <varname>SYSVSHM</> and <varname>SYSVSEM</> need

to be enabled when the kernel is compiled. (They are by

default.) The maximum size of shared memory is determined by

the option <varname>SHMMAXPGS</> (in pages). The following
