I think the local xserver is running with user access enabled

does ps -ef ? grep X comes back with a -auth string ?

Also I suspect you su'd to root ?

see /usr/dt/config/Xresources

Dtlogin*Authourise ..........

Francoise,

Are you attempting to display SAM to the local console of the system, or to another workstation, or a PC-based X terminal emulator? If so, which emulator are you using?

Can you please also post the full text of the message? I suspect there is additional information in there that may prove useful in determining what exactly is happening on the display side of things.

My suspicion is that you are attempting to display SAM to an X server or X emulator that uses an authentication mechanism that the HP-UX system does not understand how to deal with... You *may* be able to bring up an Xterminal window, and run the "xhost +" command to explicitly enable you to display applications from this system.

I hope this helps.

you can test without display with sam -display "".
