Hi again.
There are a few things to take into account.
- XDMCP, allows you to display remote apps in your local Xserver. So there must be an X server running on your Apple (the one you use when you login) plus another one (the one in which your XDCP session is displayed).
- ssh (tunnel) is not the same case. Xsession is executed on the solaris server, X server included, but everything is displayed on your X server. Tere are only one X server running on each machine.
- NAT is another "problem". You will have to open/NAT some TCP ports if you want to use XDMCP (177/TCP/UDP at least)...
- If your Apple doesn't use virtual terminals, you won't be able to start an XDMCP session this way. You could use "Xnest" in case it's available on your MAC, instead of "X". I've only seen virtual terminals on Linux boxes though this does not mean it's not possible on other systems
Then, try with Xnest:
This will launch an X server on a window, if everything else is OK, with a XDMC session against your Sun server.

gdmxnestchooser
gdmXnestchooser(1) User Commands gdmXnestchooser(1)NAME
gdmXnestchooser, gdmXnest - run an XDMCP chooser
SYNOPSIS
gdmXnestchooser [--background] [--broadcast] [--direct] [--no-gdm-check] [--no-query] [--xnest-extra-options=options] [--xnest=string]
[gnome-std-options] hostname
DESCRIPTION
gdmXnestchooser automatically gets the correct display number, sets up access, and runs Xnest with -indirect localhost. This ensures that
you get an XDMCP chooser that is provided by your machine. You can also specify the hostname whose chooser should be displayed, so that
gdmXnestchooser somehost runs the XDMCP chooser from host somehost inside an Xnest.
gdmXnest is a symbolic link to gdmXnestchooser and is the same as running gdmXnestchooser with the --no-query and --no-gdm-check options.
gdmXnest is useful for running Xnest without actually connecting somewhere.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--background Run in the background. You can also use -b to specify this option.
--broadcast Run broadcast instead of indirect (chooser). You can also use -B to specify this option.
--direct Do direct query instead of indirect (chooser). You can also use -d to specify this option.
--no-gdm-check Do not check for running GDM.
--no-query Just run Xnest, no query (no chooser). You can also use -n to specify this option.
--xnest-extra-opExtra=options for Xnest. The default is no options. You can also use -o to specify this option.
--xnest=string Xnest command line. The default value is Xnest. You can also use -x to specify this option.
gnome-std-optionStandard options available for use with most GNOME applications. See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.
OPERANDS

hostname Hostname whose chooser should be displayed.
