IPCSHM is only available from a local session (shell account, local app,
etc.), and is usually installed as NETTYPE = CPU. This tells the engine
that you have already passed basic Unix authentication. If the NETTYPE
is set to NET, then an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv or the local .rhosts file
telling the system to "trust itself" is needed.
