SU Problems



Hi folks, I just installed X version 3.2 on my system this past few 
weeks.  I am having problems do things as su. ie for the first error 
message is one that I receive whenever I try to run an X program as su.  
This error message is when I was trying to use xclock.  I have check 
xclocks permissions, ownership both seem to be in order. Ownership is 
root.root and the Permissions are 755.  This error happens when I try to 
run all x programs. 

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
open display failed
InitXWindows failed, exiting

This error is when I try to run emacs as su.

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.

I cam run things as user paul and if I login as root.  If you have any 
suggestions or need any more information please email me.
Paul
