Ever wonder what is the way to run xclock from a zone in Solaris 10 running in Virtual Box on OpenSolaris 2008.11 ?
Very easy !
I am logged in OpenSolaris 2008.11 as rudy
rudy:~$ id
uid=101(rudy) gid=10(staff) groups=10(staff)
rudy:~$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
rudy:~$ uname -a
SunOS XXX 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
OpenSolaris
GZ : 192.168.1.100
VB : Solaris 10
GZ : 192.168.1.102 sol10.vegworld.org
LZ : 192.168.1.104 europortal.vegworld.org
Enter the LZ on Solaris 10(VB) as ANY server. There is no difference !
rudy@dhcp-ebru03-133-226:~$ ssh -l root -X europortal.vegworld.org

europortal
-bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS europortal 5.10 Generic_137138-09 i86pc i386 i86pc
-bash-3.00# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
-bash-3.00# /usr/openwin/bin/xclock
Don't try to assign DISPLAY yourself... It should work but it is a lot better through ssl -X ! I was "rudy" on OpenSolaris and I do a "ssh" as the user I want on Solaris... I mean don't enter Solaris as rudy(ssh -l rudy) and the su - and assign DISPLAY... You enter the host from a terminal where X11 is working and ssh will initialize your DISPLAY... The fact that it is a LZ does not have any influence here, it is the same logic...
