Ok, nevermind I figured it out...
For those of you whowant to know:
I managed to do this after reading the xauth man page about 5 times...
% xauth extrac - my.vnc.server.host.com:1.0 > ~/tmpauth
This takes the X auth entry for my VNC display my.vnc.server.host.com:1.0 from
my ~/.Xauthority file
Ok, granted I can say xhost+ and it works, but then I have disabled all my
X security. Starting VNC with -ac also disables all security. Does anyone
know the right command xhost or xauth to add just the user. I have looked
at the man pages and tied a buch of combinations with no success.
xhost +n

I get the same thing connecting to a linux box. I just do an xhost +
when I
first connect, & it will let me open gui's after I su - .

Yes.

This is, as mentioned a nice easy way of allowing anyone to open anything on
the display.
I suggest you only do this if it is a fairly brief time that you will spend
as another user - so do the xhost + just before you su, then do xhost -
