+ At least as of version 5.1, it should not be necessary to do
+ any special configuration for such parameters as
+ <varname>SHMMAX</varname>, as it appears this is configured to
+ allow all memory to be used as shared memory. That is the
+ sort of configuration commonly used for other databases such
+ as <application>DB/2</application>.</para>
+
+ <para> It may, however, be necessary to modify the global
+ <command>ulimit</command> information in
+ <filename>/etc/security/limits</filename>, as the default hard
+ limits for filesizes (<varname>fsize</varname>) and numbers of
+ files (<varname>nofiles</varname>) may be too low.
