Well after battling numerous other problems, I finally have what (I
think) is a working version of the Hobbit server. Although I think I
have everything configured properly, I'm unable to start it. I get the
following in hobbitlaunch.log:

The "Permission denied" error is odd, it indicates that this shared
memory segment already exists, but was created by another user.
If you login as root and run "ipcs -m" you'll get a list of the
existing shared memory segments. With hobbit running, it typically
looks like this:
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x0102b575 2031619 hobbit 600 262144 2
0x0202b575 2064388 hobbit 600 262144 2

0x0802b575 2261002 hobbit 600 524288 2
The "bytes" and "nattch" are typical for a default Hobbit setup.
If a Hobbit run has crashed, it might leave these behind. In that case,
use "ipcrm" to delete them. (Hobbit will do that automatically when
restarting, but if they were created by another user then it cannot).
