We're just getting started with the ADSM server on AIX.  We are running
version 2.1.5.12 of the AIX server and version 2.1.0.6 of the AIX client
under AIX 4.1.5.  I wanted to use shared memory for client connections on
the same machine as the server.  I specified "commmethod sharedmem" and
"shmport 1510" in both dsm.sys and dsmserv.opt.  The connection works fine
if I am logged on, or su-ed, to root.  However, for a non-root user, I get
the following message, which is not documented in the messages manual:

ANS4475E Insufficient authority to connect to the shared memory region

What do I need to do to be able to use shared memory with a non-root client
user?
