Shared Memory

Hi all,

I have tried to give PostGres a little more shared memory but I
failed. I'm running Linux 2.4.9-13 (RedHat 7.2 + all the updates). I
currently have 2048 blocks (8K each) allocated, when I try to push
this up to 3072 or higher, I get
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=43540480, 03600) failed:
Invalid argument
and a log story about SHMMAX - Now, I have checked where ever I can
and found, that the max is about 16 MB in an unmodified kernel. My
question: How do I increase that without the need of a kernel
re-compile?

Best regards,
Chris
