xhost: unable to open display????
I am a dba, not an sa, that recently had to take over administering an HP-UX server. Needless to say I am not in a comfortable area, but found out that of all people I am the most knowledgeable on unix here .... scary thought I know.

I am having troubles exporting my display to a Windows XP terminal. Oracle is throwing display errors after

export DISPLAY=<ip_address>:0.0. -or-
export DISPLAY=<ip_address>:0. -or-
export DISPLAY=<ip_address>

None of it matters ... still get errors opening a display

Have tried xhost +
but still get errors ...
xhost: unable to open display

Additional info ... I have been doing all of this through a telnet session, as I do not see ssh installed on the server, and unless its pretty dummy-proof to install it I am hesitant to do so ... again I am a lowly dba without the first clue on administering unix at an sa level.

The server is HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800 (te) if that helps with anything.

I have tried all this as both the oracle user and as root ... results are the same

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

po4aman-display-po

PO4AMAN-DISPLAY-PO(1)						    Po4a Tools						     PO4AMAN-DISPLAY-PO(1)

NAME

       po4aman-display-po - display a translated man page according to a PO

SYNOPSIS

       po4aman-display-po -p PO_FILE [-m MASTER_FILE] [-o PO4A_OPT]

DESCRIPTION

       po4aman-display-po can be used by a translator who wants to check how the man page being translated in a PO will be displayed.

       The manual page must be in one of the formats supported by the po4a's man module. The manual page can be provided on the command line, or
       installed on the system.

       Manual pages generated from other formats, like DocBook or POD, are not supported. See po4apod-display-po(1) for an equivalent supporting
       POD documents.

OPTIONS

       -p PO_FILE
	   The PO file containing the translations.

       -m MASTER_FILE
	   The original man page. It can be the absolute or relative path to the original man page (gzipped or not), the name the man page or the
	   name and section of the man page (using the man.section format).  When the master document is not provided with the -m option,
	   po4aman-display-po tries to find the original man page based on the line reference of the first string in the PO.

       -o PO4A_OPT
	   Some options to pass to po4a-translate(1).
