In this case, I think the Solaris equivalent to sysctl is prctl, e.g.,
$ prctl -i project group.staff
project: 10: group.staff
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
...
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 3.92GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
...
Is that the info you need?
