I am in the process of migrating from NetView 5.0 to 5.1 on AIX 4.2.1. I
have seen the sort of behaviour you have described when I have security
turned on. I think that there may be problems in some of the SRFs which I am
still investigating.
The point of my reply is to ask if you are sure that your migration has been
successful. Does NetView work if you do not expost the display to a Linux
box?
