We are running NetView 5.0 on AIX.

I have turned on NetView security and set up users with different
capabilities with no problem.  I have just attempted to change my user
password and found that I am unable to.  The NetView Authentication
Dialog comes up and I enter my user id, old password and new password,
and then press Apply.  Ithen get the message:

"Please enter your OLD TME 10 NetView password to proceed... "

If I enter my old password and press Apply I get the message:

"Please enter your NEW TME 10 NetView password to login... "

After entering my new password and pressing Apply I get prompted for my
old password again rather than being asked to confirm the new password,
and the cycle continues.

I have tried running NetView from root and running nvauth from the
command line the problem persists.

Is this a known bug in 5.0 which will disappear when we receive and
install 5.1, or is there something I have overlooked.

Thanks in advance
