[hobbit] shm error on Solaris 8

[Menton, Stephen]

Ahh, file descriptors is at it's default, 256. Does this need to be increased? I've tried doing a 'ulimit -n 1024' and confirmed the change before doing "./server/hobbit.sh start" and it hasn't changed the results.
 
Do I need to change something again in /etc/system to make this a permanent change ?

	try running "ulimit -a" and see if you are being limited as to how many open files or memory you can access. If so you can change the limit to unlimited.

			I saw a problem similar to mine on this thread: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00667.html <http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00667.html> 
			My situation may be a little different though. In my case I've been tasked with running a hobbit instance in parallel with an existing bb4 instance ON THE SAME HOST. I've modified my hobbitserver.cfg to run on port 1985 but I get the same error in /var/log/hobbitlaunch.log as David observed. A section of the logs follows (similar messages repeat):

			2006-09-27 12:48:56 Cannot setup client channel
			2006-09-27 12:48:56 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1 
			
			Help? I'm not comfortable tweaking kernel parameters. Can someone walk me through it? Should it solve my problems? Can hobbit and bb4 co-exist on the same host?
