Here is what happened when I tried to run syndaemon:
[user at Blade ~]$ sudo syndaemon -t -d
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
I tried to find SHMConfig but didn't see a man page for it or couldn't
locate it anywhere. Can you tell me what I might be missing? I also
didn't see the syndaemon in the services list via the gui if that helps.
