The SHARED MEMORY communications options was added with the V2 level
6 or 7 ADSM AIX server and the V2 level 3 (I think it was level 3) AIX
client.

COMMMETHOD SHAREDMEM
SHMPORT 1510

The SHMPORT must be the same for both the client and the server.  That is
a TCP/IP port that is used between the client and the server for the
initial handshake.  Of course the client and the server must be running
on the same machine because it uses a shared memory region on the machine
for the communications.

Restrictions:
The client MUST
  1 - run as ROOT or
  2 - run under the same userid as the server or
  3 - use PASSWORDACCESS=GENERATE
