True. I'm sure there must be a way to figure it out but according to
the documentation the amount reported as resident includes shared
regions. Strange though the man page for pmap states:
The amount of incremental memory used by each additional
instance of a process can be estimated by using the resident
and anonymous memory counts of each mapping.
I'm not sure how that can be the case if the RSS value includes the
shared space. As with all things in *nix in general and Solaris in
particular I'm sure there is a way to do it, but it's not going to be
obvious or necessarily easy.

Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba memory usage - how big is it?
I didn't include the whole output which would be about a page. Yeah
it is just a total of the columns. There is commands for excluding
shared memory regions, "anonymously allocated" parts etc.
If the 29632k include shared memory regions, then you can
not really count them for each and every smbd. That's the
whole point of sharing, at least in my understanding: Memory
shared between processes should only use pysical resources
once. So saying that every smbd uses 29MB real memory
overstates it a bit I think.
