You can run nvauth and log in without running NetView. If you do not logout
before you close nvauth you can subsequently run the NetView GUI without
logging in again. When you exit from NetView it will log you out. You might
have run nvauth in order to run nvsec_admin for example and then left yourself
logged in. I do not know of a way to kill the NetView GUI without it logging
you out but you may have found one.

We have used the fact that you can run nvauth and pass it a userid and
password in the command line to write our own security front end which records
who has logged in for our own application among other things.
