Not able to set kernel parameters

[murali2104]

For installing a software they gave the following kernel params on Solaris 8.
But I am not able to set these.
I am adding them at the end of /etc/system file , but only these 6 are not taking into effect.All others are set properly. ( I am checking from sysdef)--Is there any other way to set/check these?
"sysdef|grep MSGMAP is giving blank"

Any help is highly appreciated.

set msgsys:msginfo_msgmap = 258
set msgsys:msginfo_msgseg = 7168
set msgsys:msginfo_msgssz = 32
set semsys:seminfo_semmap = 258
set semsys:seminfo_semusz = 96
set rlim_fd_cur = 1024
forceload: sys/msgsys
forceload: sys/semsys
forceload: sys/shmsys

I don't think grepping on sysdef gives all the parameters.

Also have you tried grep -i <parameter>

Try this to view a system parameter on a running system:

# echo '<parametername>/D' | adb -k /dev/ksyms /dev/mem

OR
# adb -k /dev/ksyms /dev/mem
<parametername>/D
<ctrl-D>

Note: the /D tells adb (the general purpose debugger) to output in 'long Decimal' (see man adb)

I hope that helps.
