  I asked on this in our local Sun office and was advised that
while it is quite possible for a Sun Ray's Xserver to connect
to a remote XDMCP server and paint that desktop, this may lag
a bit due to multiple graphics buffer conversions. However this
should not differ much from SSGD lags. What's worse, the users
of "remote Xservers thru Sun Ray" will not get:
* Sound
* USB media
and features like that (X11 protocol doesn't support either,
unlike RDP) - which may be achieved by SSGD forwarded desktops.


  Concerning the remote dtlogin option, I wonder if there's some
command-line equivalent? This would allow to script the remote
login dialog to pop up with a certain default server selected...

It is an X server option to connect to a remote host for an XDMCP request (either -query hostname or -indirect hostname, depending on your need).

It may be possible to trick dtlogin into starting the X server with such an option, but this might result in undesired behavior of dtlogin or SRSS.

One solution that works (with restrictions like those mentioned above) is to run a Kiosk session (so you see no local login) that starts a full-screen (you need to figure out the screen geometry for that) Xnest server with the -query or -indirect options.


A better way to get user sessions in zones might be to use Solaris Trusted Extensions. It may take a bit of fiddling with configuration to get the setup you want (particularly concerning connectivity of the zones with the outside world), but then you have a system where most things Sun Ray should work.
