Re: Shared memory. Error.

Posted in 2003

Summary

A poster named inf got a shared memory error on Red Hat 8 with the raw device /dev/raw/raw10, whose permissions were crw-rw---- informix informix. Paul Watson noted the error message wanted group ID root while the device showed informix, and told inf to follow the suggestion in the error message. No confirmed resolution.

The message says the group ID should be root, yours is informix.
