I would like to run 2 xymon-4.3.0 servers on 1 host (one for testing,
one for production), each with its own user (xymon vs xymontst) and port
(1984 vs. 1985). The problem is, that I get an error-message when
starting the second server:

"Could not get shm of size 262144: Permission denied"
This is one of the more obscure parts of the SysV IPC specs, but it
basically boils down to this: Make sure the two Xymon servers have
different XYMONHOME directories, and it should work OK.
I must be missing something...

I've got 2 users:
uid=104(xymon) gid=501(beheer) groups=501(beheer), home directory 
(=install directory): /data/xymon

uid=105(xymontst) gid=501(beheer) groups=501(beheer), home directory: 
/data/tstxymon

Each user has a different XYMONHOME:

/data/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg:XYMONHOME="/data/xymon/server"

/data/tstxymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg:XYMONHOME="/data/tstxymon/server"

(For details, look up the documentation on your systems' "ftok" function).
according to the documentatiop of 'ftok' this should be working..

Wat am I missing?

BTW:
my system is a RedHat EL6 system:
Linux server 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 2 14:17:40 EST 
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Can you please advise?
