I am trying to adjust shared memory segments on a 32bit box:

Code:
$uname -a
Linux home1 3.5.7-gentoo #1 SMP Sun Nov 11 15:21:31 CST 2012 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


So:

$ grep kernel.shm /etc/sysctl.conf
#kernel.shmall = 46869516
#kernel.shmall = 209715
#kernel.shmmax = 36869516
#kernel.shmmax = 536870912
#kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 8388608
kernel.shmmax = 134217728


and then:

$ sudo sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
kernel.shmall = 8388608
kernel.shmmax = 134217728


Ok great:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
8388608
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
134217728


But then why...

$ ipcs -lm

------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 131072
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 33554432

min seg size (bytes) = 1

Apps behave like the values are those output by ipcs. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong... can someone straighten me out?
