[OpenIndiana-discuss] Vnc to mimic SunRay behaviour, how??

[Hans J. Albertsson]

I'm pretty comfy with the way SunRays work: you login to a remote server 
with a full graphical UI.
When you're due for lunch, you pull your card, and go get yer grub. In 
the lounge area, you plug yer card into a sunray on a temp desk, and 
just continue in the session you left behind. Performance was OK for 
what we used them for 5-8 years ago.

Alas, SunRays are a thing of the past for most of us. Oracle's price tag 
is just way too hefty for most people. Also, next SW and HW upgrade  we 
want better performance for medium-complexity graphics, so what to do 
instead?

Initial tests with GB net and modern fanless media PCs indicate that VNC 
might just be good enough for the next 5 years or so. But, as far as I 
can see, using Xvnc in OI151a7 leaves you with but two choices, 
open-for-all possibly passwordprotected persistent preassigned sessions 
or non-persistent but automatically assigned sessions.

Could one fiddle around with options and other things to simulate SunRay 
sessions in a better way??

I'd like to avoid having to preconfigure a set of logical displays for 
each of my over 200 users...
