Robert,
Solaris only ships with X11R5, so we built the X11R6 program separately.
Linux comes with X11R6.3, so the program is already there, so it
would be possible to test it out if you had a linux box around as
a host just to draw to.

You tell the Xvfb which hosts will be allowed to connect to it with
an /etc/X1.hosts file (for X display 1). Each host allowed to connect will
be listed on a line.
