The question was how to unlock the :0 display of a workstation
which had been saying "Terminal is disabled, see account administrator"
Several people had said to use edauth -dt \:0
to clear all fields except t_devname, t_xdisplay, t_login_timeout.
I had done this several times and it had not worked.
Thanks to wmills_at_wellsfargo.com for pointing out that this only works
if one goes to the actual console and sellects "command line login"
option and does it from there.
It does not work if one is rlogin'ed in, and tries to do it through su.
