How I Can start the virtual box as the "normal user" but not the root user on the solaris patform as host and window as the Guest?
I just serch in goole but can not found any idea.
I wouder there is a way to do this.

I dont understand your question. Can you try to explain again?

When you login to Solaris, you never login as root. You login as an ordinary user. Then you startup VB. So, VB is not started as root.

I means that.
At frist I login as ordinary user. login name:syoueiki,pwd:XXXX.
Then I inter the solaris system sucessfully.
Then I start the term.
I enter the command :VirtualBox,but I get the error message.
But if I start the VirtualBox as root : su, root pwd,I can start the VirtualBox sucessfully.

My question is is there a method that even I do not login as root,I can start the VirtualBox too?

What solaris version are you using? I just click on VB from the meny with all applications.

Check the directory where VB is installed and see which programs you can type?

$ which VirtualBox

I can just log in as my regular user and launch VirtualBox either in a gnome-session by launching the app, or by `ssh -X VirtualBox` or `ssh VBoxHeadless ...` No pfexec or sudo required.

However, if you have started it as root (and that was the first time) check the owner and perms of the .VirtualBox directory in your home dir.
Change that (and subsequent files) to your userid and try again - or just remove the directory and start over as yourself.
Make sure you own the directory and files where your VM is stored.
