System V Message Queues Question

Thanks for the responses to my question on why message queues work
on one Sun but not others.  I had several phone calls and e-mail to
date, all with the right answer -- which was to reconfigure the kernal.
There is a configuration file in /sys/sun3/conf (/sys/sun4/conf for Sun 4's)
which lists the options to include in the kernal.  I needed the following
options defined:

	options         IPCMESSAGE      # System V IPC message facility
	options         IPCSEMAPHORE    # System V IPC semaphore facility
	options         IPCSHMEM        # System V IPC shared-memory facility

Rebuilding the kernal on each of these machine my code did not work on
got everything to work just fine.

I've tried to answer all the e-mail with a personal word of thanks but
all my mail is bouncing at the moment.  Again thanks for the calls and
mail.  It was a great help!!
