The GGZ Gaming Zone (GGZ) is an Internet gaming center. Players login and sit at tables where they can play their favorite games and chat with other players. GGZ can support multiple rooms with varying skill levels.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
About twenty bugs which have been found for over ayear are now fixed. Several translations inggz-client-libs and ggz-gtk-client were taken fromthe GNOME games project and integrated. Toolchainsupport, in particular on Solaris, has beenimproved.
Dear all,
recently, I migrated a solaris zone from one host to another. The zone was inside of a zpool. The zpool cotains two volumes.
I did the following:
host1:
$ zlogin zone1 shutdown -y -g0 -i0 #Zone status changes from running to installed
$ zpool export zone1
host2:
$ zpool... (2 Replies)
I have two physical servers, with zones that mount local storage.
We were using "raw device" in the zonecfg to point to a metadevice on the global zone (it was not mounted in the global zone at any point).
It failed to mount on every boot because the directory existed in the zone.

Hi Greetings...
I have an issue in connecting the zone from outside the network and it is because of default gateway. I can ping default gateway from inside the zone and not able to ping from global zone due to different VLAN issue. If i add two different gateways and restart network services,... (2 Replies)
ggz(7) GGZ Gaming Zone ggz(7)NAME
ggz - The GGZ Gaming Zone
DESCRIPTION
The GGZ Gaming Zone is a standards-conforming online gaming infrastructure which provides many applications and games to people who like to
play on the internet or in local networks. GGZ, how the (recursive) acronym is called, is available for many computer systems. This docu-
ment focuses on the installations on Linux, BSD and Unix.
APPLICATIONS
There isn't a single executable named ggz, instead a multitude of programs is available to the user, and even more which operate on the
system level or are used by developers and administrators. Users will most likely want to connect to a GGZ server on the internet, such as
ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org, to play games against other people. Core clients are used to perform this task. Functional clients exist in
the form of kggz for the K Desktop Environment (KDE), ggz-gnome and ggz-gtk for GNOME or XFCE users, and ggz-txt for people who prefer com-
mand-line applications. Of course, the clients are not bound to a specific desktop, but the choices above will likely be influenced by the
level of integration. A client under development is the SDL-based vibora.
Special clients exist in the form of ggzap, a quick-launcher for the KDE panel, and ggz-wrapper which is used for launching GGZ games from
instant messenger applications.
GAMES
Games are usually launched by the GGZ server, with corresponding game clients running on the user's desktop. Plenty of games are available
for GGZ, most of them coming from the GGZ project itself but several independent game projects do now provide GGZ support. Game clients
are implemented using multiple toolkits, some of which stem from certain desktop environments. However, all games work equally well under
all desktops, it's just a matter of personal choice which of them are to be installed - having all of them is just fine.
While some GGZ game clients are suited for online gaming only, others also run locally like normal games happen to do. Those will be found
in the desktop's application menu.
FILES
The following layout can vary from site to site, depending on the completeness of a GGZ installation and the operating system distribution
in use. It adheres to the File Hierarchy Standard (FHS) as much as possible.
/usr/bin
GGZ applications, tools, and the games which provide single player mode.
/usr/lib/ggz(d)
GGZ game clients and servers.
/usr/share/ggz(d)
Data files for game clients and servers.
/etc/ggz.modules
Game module registry for game clients.
/etc/ggzd
Configuration for the GGZ server, including rooms and game types.
