Eric, Not to give you a hard time, but this is pretty basic UNIX stuff... not sure what your role in your organization is or if you're just a home user or what have you, but you'll be MUCH better off reading `man xhost` and just a general overview of X11, the DISPLAY variable... etc. just for your own edification. Everything that you do that is graphical in UNIX will become a breeze (this particular error, for example) once you know how it ties together. Hope I didn't offend you!
