Before I use VNC, is there an easy method to just connect to a newly
installed Solaris 10 machine using my Mac (OS-X Tiger)? I've got Xfree
86 installed on the Mac. I've tried all the usual DISPLAY=soandso in
the terminal screen, but it keeps telling me display 0 is already
active.
Should I just use VNC and be done with it?

What about
$ ssh -Y solaris-machine-hostname
or
$ Xnest -query solaris-machine-hostname :1
?
The second one requires that you have Xnest installed on MacOS
and that the XDMCP server on Solaris be configured to accept
remote connections.
