Another query...C2 security and Xterm logins

Hi all,

        My original question was:

       I've just converted a DU3.2 server running Pathworks to C2 security. I
decided the GUI may be a better option than the command line prompts for
management.
       Unfortunately, when running an X session, the server replies with
"Cannot obtain database information on this terminal".
       I am sure this has something to do with /etc/auth/system/devassign and
/etc/auth/system/ttys, but cannot figure out the format.

Thanks to Marie-Claude Vialatte and Anselmo Elcana de Oliviera for their
replies:

        This has solved the "Cannot obtain database information on this
terminal" problem, but now I get the message "Not authorized for terminal access
--See System Administrator". How do I rectify this?

Thanks in advance,
