To make the setting permanent, change the setting in /etc/sysctl.conf as
well. That would be kernel.shmmax. Be a good idea to look at the
settings for kernel.sem, too and see if they need changing. sysctl -a
will give you listing of all kernel settings and you can grep out the
ones you're interested in. I'm not familiar with FC2, but since it's
from the same tree as RHEL3, I'm assuming it has this utility and .conf
file. Corrections welcomed.

Cheers,
