Solaris 10 kernel Params, Set/Get?

I am experienced with Solaris 8 where this type of thing was handled from /etc/system but now I have a Solaris 10 server and I am having trouble determining how to interact with the kernel parameters. I need to know how to check the values of the following, of the DB people I work with.

MAX NUM OF USER PROCESSES

MAX NUM OF SYSTEM USERS

MAX NUM OF SEMAPHORES

MAX NUM OF SYSTEM WIDE FILES

MAX NUM OF SYSTEM PROCESSES

I have searched and found out about many of the changes on how the system handles things differently, by projects and what not. I know about the command prctl, and how if you are a different user when you issue it you will get different output. I have searched (All Day Yesterday) and was able to answer many of the questions I had, but I am out of time for this task so I thought I would ask for some help. Could someone please tell me how to do this or direct me to a thread where it is discussed.
Thank you for your time,
