increasing space for message queues

The problem could be solved by RTFM - I looked in "Global Index" and
didn't find anything useful so I wrote to the list. Many thanks to :

for pointing me in the right direction. In the volume System and Network
Administration (SunOS 4.1) page 700 ff is all I need for SunOS 4.1.x
For Solaris 2.x I have to put entries in /etc/system. I include the mail
from Erwan Marec :

> msginfo_msgmax = xxx, where xxx is the maximum message size (2048 by default).
> msginfo_msgmnb = xxx, where xxx is the maximum bytes on queue (default:4096).
> msginfo_msgmni = xxx, where xxx is the number of message queue identifier
> (default:50).
> msginfo_msgssz = xxx, where xxx is the segment size of a message (should be
> multiple of the word size, default:8).
> msginfo_msgtql = xxx, where xxx is the number of system message headers
> (default:40).
> msginfo_msgseg = xxx, where xxx is the number of message segments (must be < 32768).

> After tuning up kernel parameters, you must reboot your system.
> I hope this will be useful, for further information, send me a mail.
