No. QEMU's user-only mode only supports running Linux processes on a Linux host; it can't run binaries for any other OS like Solaris. To run a Solaris binary you would need to boot a guest Solaris on an emulated QEMU system (effectively, like a slow VM), and then run the binary you want to run inside that VM. Running QEMU doesn't need root privileges. thanks -- PMM
