How can I tell if IPC support is in my active RedHat9 Kernel?

Hi,

here is what it returned:

[root@rockfish_dev rmenefee]# ipcs -a

------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status

------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key semid owner perms nsems
0x00000000 65536 apache 600 1
0x00000000 98305 apache 600 1
0x00000000 131074 apache 600 1

------ Message Queues --------
key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages

Does this mean I have the module installed?

yes, IPC [==interprocess commonication] is supported in your kernel.
