The explore_xxxx files are created for each GUI that is started so if you
restart NetView then yes it will create another explore_xxxx file when the
GUI comes up. After the GUI has started, then delete the explore_xxxx file
and see if you can select it as a map for the Web Client to use.
During my "small" test, I started two GUIs and thus two explore_xxxx files
were created. I deleted the explore_xxxx file associated with the
read-write GUI and this left me with only the Read-only map for the Web
Client to use.
These explore_xxxx files will be removed when the GUIs are exited.
I think Leslie Clarke best answered Cliff's original question and thus the
above is probably redundant.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Web Client required to be Read Only
I tried to remove /usr/OV/tmp/explore_xxxx and restarted NetView.
Did not work for me. Read-write permission should be
administered from SysAdmin option to prevent the map from Read-
Write.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Web Client required to be Read Only
I think the only way of doing this at the moment is to ONLY have a
"read-only" NetView GUI open and available to the Web Client. Start the
NetView GUI with the command "netview -ro".
OR
Each NetView GUI which is started creates a file called
/usr/OV/tmp/explore_xxxx. You could try deleting the explore_xxxx which is
associated with the read-write map so as to prevent the Web Client having
access to it. I haven't fully tested this so don't know what the side
affects are if any but it does prevent you from opening the map associated
with this explore_xxxxx file.

Subject: [NV-L] Web Client required to be Read Only
Dear Group,
I have implemented the Web Client a while ago on Netview 6 (both NT and
Unix), but inorder to roll it out proberly I would like it to only be
availalbe Read Only, as I don't trust the people that I am rolling it out
to.
Is there any way of limiting access of the web client to prevent anyone
making changes.
