Using Xnest -query localhost when in "netservices limited" mode?

807557Mar 30 2008 — edited Mar 31 2008
hi,

I'm trying to get Xnest to work (so I can remote desktop over ssh) - on Solaris 10 1/08 express developer

Xnest works fine when in "netservices open" mode but not when in "netservices limited" mode

I'd rather runs as limited and just enable the things I need, like Xnest but I can't seem to find the way to enable it so it works.

I've tried setting the option, as per:

svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true

but it doesn't seem to do the trick, what do I need to enable to get this working in limited mode, going to open mode seems like opening up all the doors just for one purpose.

since I'm x11 forwarding over ssh, the Xnest -query is to localhost, not sure if that's relevant or not?

Also, can Xnest only ever run as root? I seem to have to login as my user account then su root, this is normal / preferable?
