This sort of information is for root user only; and with good reason.

I don't know Solaris. But with Linux, this information can be grepped from the boot.msg log file which is readable for all users. If there is a similar file with Solaris, you might parse it.

that's a good suggestion... I haven't used Solaris since way back in the day... so I can't remember much about this type of stuff

Its been a very long time since I've played with Solaris but if I recall you can get it by running system("arp hostname") and parsing the results.
