"missing" my.cnf file?

I have inhertited this old Solaris x86 system with MYSQL installed on it.

mdb:/tmp 15:38:08 [539]# uname -a
SunOS mdb.hitbox.com 5.7 Generic_106542-24 i86pc i386 i86pc

I would rate myself as an advanced novice WRT MYSQL
To a large deree this system is running OK.

However, it does seem to be smacking into the limit of 100 concurrent
connections.
AFAIK, no /etc/my.cnf file & no $HOME/.my.cnf file exist.
I've looked & looked at the startup scripts & do not see any
"--config-file" qualifier be specified.

datadir=/a/mysqldata/ and there is no *cnf file in this folder either

# find / -name \*cnf -ls

/a/local/ssl/openssl.cnf

I may be wrong but I am convinced that MYSQL is reading some file to
acquire values for its varialbles.
How do I identify which file it is using?
