I find this to be one of the great ease-of-administration features using zones. Using zlogin is an alternative, and may be easier to audit. That only works on running zones.

Is it OK for root on the global zone to write into /root/etc/ or does this need to be done within the zone itself. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

I duplicate the passwd/shadow entries in /etc/ into /root/etc/ and lofs mount the home directory into the non-global zone. Since your desktop only runs in the global zone, there are no conflicts there, but other activities will be dealing with the same files, so you do need to be careful about shared writes to the same file, even things like .sh_history (or your shell's equivalent). Instead of lofs of the home directory, you could also just do sub-directories that need to be shared, such as doc, src, foobar.
