Glenn,
If the concern is X11, then why don't we expand AF_UNIX and named pipes
so that the admin of the X server (in the global zone) can choose to
have /tmp/.X11-pipe/X0 and /tmp/.X11-uni/X0 be loopback mounted in
other zones?
There might be security environments where one wants X11 to work between
different zones on the machine, yet do not want *any* IP connectivity
between those zones.
