Charlie summed it up best when he asked the question I
should've included information for in the first place:
Are you logging in as root or as a different user
account and then su'ing to root?
I am su'ing to root. Well...
Charlie Ballowe:
Unlike Linux, Tru64 doesn't pass along X credentials
with a su.
try:
DISPLAY=hostname:0
XAUTHORITY=~username/.Xauthority
export DISPLAY XAUTHORITY
then run your command.
I did just that and it worked like a charm. Thank you
all once again...

Initial problem below:
Managers,
I'm hoping I can get some help with this situation.
It is probably
something simple that I'm overlooking:
I have a A8400 system running TRU64 5.1a with a
graphics terminal connected
to it. I am able to login to the system and
manipulate the CDE just fine.
The problem occurs when I try to open up an
application such as
'dxaccounts'. I get the following error message:
dxaccounts: Cannot open display
Not a problem yet. I didn't think I have to provide
any display parameters
when opening up a GUI from the console, as the host
properties would already
be set. So, I try to give it the proper $DISPLAY
values:
(/bin/ksh)
# export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0
I now get the following error message:
Xlib: connection to "hostname:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
dxaccounts: Cannot open display
What am I missing? Thank you in advance...
