2012-10-16 Thread David Wolfskill
[Please include me in responses; I've set Reply-To as a hint. Thanks!] A colleague had been running a program that makes use of IPCS message queues in a 7.x/i386 environment. He was moved to a 32-bit 7.x-based jail instantiated on an 8.x/amd64 host. Within that jail, "ipcs -a" now fails to come

2008-08-17 Thread David Wolfskill
