    Hello everyone,

    I'm running AIX 5.3 and I need a user to be able to pin shared memory. According to the various documentation I've found, I need to enable the CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM capability for this user. Again, according to the documentation, I'm supposed to use the "chuser" command to do this. Unfortunately, the chuser command will not work for network (NIS, if that matters) based accounts. Does anyone know a way to work around this? Is there another way I can grant this capability to a specific user or set it as a default capability for all users to have?

    Thanks in advance!

    your aix must allow shared memory to be pinned.

    read vmo manpage section v_pinshm
