I just did that to test this.

> skittlebrau:~ postgres$ grep shm /etc/rc

Luke-Lonergans-Computer:~ lukelonergan$ cat /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.sysv.shmall=327680
kern.sysv.shmmax=335544320
#kern.sysv.shmall=268435456
#kern.sysv.shmmax=268435456

> skittlebrau:~ postgres$ sysctl -a | grep shm

Luke-Lonergans-Computer:~ lukelonergan$ sysctl -a | grep shm
kern.sysv.shmmax: 335544320
kern.sysv.shmmin: 1
kern.sysv.shmmni: 32
kern.sysv.shmseg: 8
kern.sysv.shmall: 327680

Thx for the tip.

I also tried different settings (shmall set to 500K) and shmmax ended up at
-1. So, it seems that shmall is in pages. I didn't try other allowable
configs, which was a problem before.
