RE: [HACKERS] Linux: semaphores: How?

The defaults for RH5.2 (from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sem.h:

#define SEMMNI  128             /* ?  max # of semaphore identifiers
*/
#define SEMMSL  32              /* <= 512 max num of semaphores per
id */
#define SEMMNS  (SEMMNI*SEMMSL) /* ? max # of semaphores in system
*/
#define SEMOPM  32              /* ~ 100 max num of ops per semop
call */
#define SEMVMX  32767           /* semaphore maximum value */

Which means the default max semaphores is 128*32 = 4096, I don't
think you'll have a problem. :)
