Summary: Use crash(1M) or 'grep NPROC /usr/src/uts/*/cf/conf.c'


The crash program has an option for looking at the struct var in 
the kernel that gives most of the size stuff.  The structure is
defined in /usr/include/sys/var.h.  The name of the variable in
/unix that contains the dude is _v (or whatever your compiler does
to a thing declared struct var v;)

If you want to know the maximum number of processes per user, that
would be MAXUPC rather than NPROC.  I suggest you print out the
include file if you don't have crash and then use adb or sdb on
/dev/kmem and look at the structure that way.  Should take less
time than writing a program.
