Problem in intiating x11 console
Hello,
I have a Solaris-10 non global zone. I am using MobaXterm. I login on box with root and then "su - caddrd" and then "/usr/local/bin/sudo -u cadwebppc /cad/envs/qa-cm/cadwccDomain/ucm/cs/bin/UserAdmin". This is supposed to open a GUI console, but it is failing and I am not able to figure out. Can somebody help on this ?
Code:
-bash-3.2$ /usr/local/bin/sudo -u cadwebppc /cad/envs/qa-cm/cadwccDomain/ucm/cs/bin/UserAdmin

-bash-3.2$

-----------------------------------------------------
Update - I am refining this question more. I am able to run xclock via root, via caddrd and via cadwebppc also. But when I am using it with sudo, it is giving error. So it seems something like, having issue with passing variables.

The answer seems to be in your message...
Code:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

You need to defined the DISPLAY variable...
Code:
export DISPLAY=ip-address:0.0

Don't forget to do an
Code:
 xhost +ip-address of client

blackrageous, I am able to get xclock when I login directly to root or caddrd or cadwebppc. I made a entry in .profile of home directory of cadwebppc. Also, I made entry in auth list. But no luck. Here were the steps I was following.
Code:
ssh root@server1
/root# /usr/openwin/bin/xauth list
tsapiq05-zcadq01/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  40d89c398dd5a69ecfba8f0bd853ec02
tsapiq05-zcadq01/unix:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  03cc68b63e22985c68b484ffa8408baf
su - caddrd
-bash-3.2$ /usr/openwin/bin/xauth add prod-appstess/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  40d89c398dd5a69ecfba8f0bd853ec02
-bash-3.2$ /usr/openwin/bin/xauth add prod-appstess/unix:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  03cc68b63e22985c68b484ffa8408baf
-bash-3.2$ /usr/openwin/bin/xauth list
prod-appstess/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  40d89c398dd5a69ecfba8f0bd853ec02
prod-appstess/unix:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  03cc68b63e22985c68b484ffa8408baf
(Copy same keys for cadwebppc account also)
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u cadwebppc /cad/envs/qa-cm/cadwccDomain/ucm/cs/bin/UserAdmin

Here xauth merge should work. But each time, I add keys via xauth, it will work. I will log out and next time, it will again stops. Seems like, it generates new cookies every time. I am not able to figure out, how should I automate it
