+       
+        In Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris, the default shared memory and
+        semaphore settings are good enough for most
+        PostgreSQL applications.  Solaris now defaults
+        to a SHMMAX of one-quarter of system RAM.  If
+        you need to increase this in order to set shared memory settings
+        slightly higher, you should use a project setting associated
+        with the postgres user.  For example, run the
+        following as root:
+
+projadd -c "PostgreSQL DB User" -K "project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,8GB,deny)" -U postgres -G postgres user.postgres
+
+       
+
+       
+        This command adds the user.postgres project and
+        raises the shared memory maximum for the postgres
+        user to 8GB, and takes effect the next time that user logs
+        in, or when you restart PostgreSQL (not reload).
+        The above assumes that PostgreSQL is run by
+        the postgres user in the postgres
+        group.  No server reboot is required.
+       
+
+       
+        Other recommended kernel setting changes for database servers which will
+        have a large number of connections are:
+
+project.max-shm-ids=(priv,32768,deny)
+project.max-sem-ids=(priv,4096,deny)
+project.max-msg-ids=(priv,4096,deny)
