Sounds like the whole point of Trusted Solaris is to stop things like VNC.
I doubt it will be possible to run an x0vncserver on this box unless you
replace its X server with an ordinary Solaris X server (thereby reducing the
security of the system).

They've taken out the XTest extension from the X server, which means there's
no way for x0vncserver to inject mouse or keyboard events.  I wouldn't be
surprised if they've also stopped the XGetImage call from working, so
there's no way to get the screen image.

Cheers

Tristan
