     Hi --
     
     I have this perplexing problem. On some of our Alpha 2100 running DU
     3.2 -- this message pops up on some Alphas, and not on the others. Am
     I missing something?
     
     This problem occurs when root tries to logon via Xwindows at the
     console -- the "Terminal not authorized for Access -- See Systems
     Administrator" message comes up. I've tried to fix this with no luck.
      On another similar machine -- those files are the same and it works.
     Did I do somethng wrong? (Yes, this machine was rebooted recently as
     well)
