Please forgive me if this is an idiotic question.
My system administrator is gone and I can not get 
postmaster to run and I do not understand
this error that I am getting.  HELP!
(I am running on a SPARC2)

Error:

snake% postmaster&
[1] 566
snake% IpcMemoryAttach: shmat() failed: Permission denied



The machine was recently rebooted, could that be the problem?
Thanks in advance!!!

Chris

most of the time, this means that someone started postmaster 
as one user, then did
	kill -9
of the postmaster (leaving shared memory segments lying around),
then tried to start postmaster as a different user.

running ipcclean as the first user usually clears this up.
