I'm trying to run xrpm and am having a problem I hope
someone can help me with.
When I su to root and run xrpm I get the following
errors:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/xrpm/xrpm.py", line 679, in ?
    root = Tk(className='xrpm')
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line
844, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName,
className)
TclError: couldn't connect to display ":0.0"

If I log out and log back in as root all is ok.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Carson
