I don't use X11 interactively (on console) but rather as a TightVNC server - there such settings can go into ~/.vnc/xstartup script. Maybe this snippet would help your profile: it permits the server's local zones and optionally some listed hosts the right to access the GZ's VNC server for management (i.e. installing the Oracle with its interactive wizard), and this is a little breach because the VNC server is fired up for such tasks and is normally disabled: ## # (C) 2008-2012 by Jim Klimov: allow local zones to this X11 server # Permit the following hosts to use this VNC for display XHOSTLIST="localhost `hostname`" if [ -s "/etc/default/vncserver-xhosts" ]; then XHOSTLIST="$XHOSTLIST `cat /etc/default/vncserver-xhosts`" fi if [ -x "/usr/sbin/zoneadm" ]; then # This system contains some Solaris zones # We simply presume that zone names are known (resolvable) # as IP addresses via hosts file or DNS XHOSTLIST="$XHOSTLIST `/usr/sbin/zoneadm list -cp | grep -v global | while IFS=: read ZID ZNAME ZSTATE ZPATH; do /bin/echo \" $ZNAME\c\"; done`" fi echo "XHOSTLIST=$XHOSTLIST" >&2 if [ x"$XHOSTLIST" != x -a x"$XHOSTLIST" != "x " ]; then for XHOST in $XHOSTLIST; do echo "Adding XHost: $XHOST..." >&2 xhost + "$XHOST" done fi ## I guess it should be trivial to replace or expand this logic with one needed for local users (i.e. as a list file in the topmost clause).

I'm running as the oracle user [root@openindiana:/tank/iso] #su - oracle And interesting that xload gives an error when I try to run it as the oracle user.
