My real advice is to call Support and get some help from someone who works on
security -- I don't.
But what I would do in the meantime is turn security off and start the daemons.
Then I would try to rebuild the security profiles and such just as if this were
a new install.

Turn security off and recycle the security demon:

# /usr/OV/install/tools/secutil -off
# /usr/OV/bin/nvsecd -Q
# /usr/OV/bin/ovstart nvsecd

This changes the SECURITY_LEVEL_FLAG=OFF flag in /usr/OV/security/conf/sec.conf
and should allow everything to start.

Hi James,

This is not a new install - NetView has been running fine since October
1999.  What happened before the nvsecd failed was the NetView filesystem was
full.  As a result, although we could start up NetView, it couldn't
authenticate any users to log in.  The error message we received was :

"FNS0644: Could not open message file.
nsm_install_key error, could not create credentials."

After the administrator cleared certain things, we still couldn't get
NetView to authenticate any users so we did a server restart.  After which,
we couldn't even get NetView to start at all because of the failure to start
nvsecd.

Appreciate further advice based on this...

Warmest regards,
Kendra
