Ok, ran that command as is.  Also, I was incorrect.  /bin/csh is the
root shell.  I had switch to /bin/sh to see if it would make a huge
difference.  Sorry about that.

Here is the output from the command:

mako# su - root -c "/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin --install-global-extension --
/usr/X11/bin/Xvfb :1001"

/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no server
"/usr/X11/bin/Xvfb" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
that "/usr/X11/bin/Xvfb" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display.  Possible server names include:

    Xorg         X.Org displays

giving up.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to
connect to X server
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Thanks again!
