[techtalk] bad display name in "add" command

[Jennifer L. Hamilton]

The DISPLAY is set to :0.0. See below:

[cvsuser at attila test_module]$ cvs -q update -P -A
jhamilto at cvstest.ops.n2h2.com's password: 
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "cvstest:10.0" in
"add" command
[cvsuser at attila test_module]$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

I wonder what is the "add" command it is talking about. Perhaps I can
run that from the command line and see what happens.
