[Sunhelp] Admintool

[Howard Hurst]

I'm trying to add a new printer on a Sparc Ultra 5.

However, when I try to start admintool as root (after I've su'd to it from a
normal user) I get an error:

"Error: Can't open display:"

I can display admintool as a normal user - but (as is the norm) don't have
permissions to to anything.

Any clues as to what's causing this? I'm guessing it's something to do with
the display variable (for user root) but don't really know where to begin.

I've tried searching the SunSolve website but haven't managed to come up
with anything yet....

I'd appreciate some help!

Howard.
