A PC-BSD system and a Linux jail should have this support enabled by default. You’ll have to enable it in a FreeBSD jail: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html.

What I mean is that the citrix client has not been updated in a long time on freshports. It would be nice to be able to get the software from else where and install it in a jail so it does not affect the PCBSD system but can still be used when it is needed.

I am aware that forwarding X to a console is possible in Linux with:

$xinit -e ssh -XCc blowfish user@ip_address_of_guest “/usr/bin/startlxde &” — :1 & disown

The above command opens up xserver in vt7.

Any pointer of the same in pcbsd or freebsd or freenas8?

Tried with pkg_add -r xorg (ref to http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=16038), but reportedly got errors with some packages not found.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I’ll mention it as a feature request. In the mean time, if you come up with a working installation script, let us know.

or install it in a similar way as you would Linux?
