I tried this, and everything went haywire :( I couldn't even get windows to come up in the global zone. I understand what you are saying in terms of the DISPLAY variable being passed to the zones, but what I don't understand is how the virtual interface (vni0) can be tied to the hostname of the system. My understanding of a virtual interface is that it is only reachable locally. If vni0 is the configured interface for the IP associated with my hostname, how will I communicate with other systems on the network? I'm guessing I configure a physical interface with a different name? My networking skill are a bit lacking, so please excuse my ignorance!
You mentioned that the DISPLAY variable being passed into the zones has no route to my global zone. Is there a way to explicitly create routes so that things work using my configuration? Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction. This message posted from opensolaris.org
