Before 'su', you have to do 'xhost +localhost' to allow connections from
localhost.

Subject: [SLUG] SuSE - "connection to ":0.0" refused by server"
Hello,
I have switched to SuSE Desktop from Red Hat and am trying to run a
command after su-ing to root. This is what I get:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
What do I need to do to give myself the ability to run anything I want
when I su to root?
I am trying to get my Nortel VPN client running, but don't want to do so
as root.
Thanks!
Dave
