Any particular reason you didn't go with 2.4.2p1?

The last line from taper is the important part. It says that when taper
tried to allocate some shared memory with shmget, the OS told it "no".
Is shared memory an option you have to build into your kernel? Or add
some kernel config option to enable or set the size?
If you run "ipcs -a" do you see any shared memory segments allocated to
the Amanda user? If so, they may be leftovers from testing you did and
need to be removed (ipcrm).
