Add yourself to the vboxuser group (and logout and login) before launching the guest VM. That group has the requisite permissions. It turns out, this is the best answer for the remote console: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html You can launch machines headless with VBoxHeadless. You can make the guest physical console available over RDP. By default, there's no username or password on VRDE, but you can enable it. By default, "external" means authenticate using any username/pass from the host OS. But you can change the vrdeauthlibrary to VBoxAuthSimple, and then you can specify any username/pass you want for the RDP connection. If you have more than one guest, you can either have them listen on different ports VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> --vrdeport 3389 Or listen on different IP addresses VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> --vrdeaddress <hostip> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
