The first thing to notice that 5.1.3 did not officially support Solaris
2.8. Only 2.7 was listed in the Release Notes.
If you are going to run supported code, then my advice is always "don't
touch anything."
When you say you "tarred up the files?" do you mean that you just tarred
up /usr/OV or what?
There's a lot more to a NetView install than just laying down files. It
sounds as if needed links didn't get built in /usr/lib. If you insist on
hacking this, I'd
compare your 2.6 with your 2.8 and see if you can see which ones are
missing
Personally, I don't know why root should work and the others not. With
regard to the map, do you get a core file or just a window failure? If a
core, then you may be out of luck. If the window just fails, then you
might be able to hack a solution. If the above suggestion doesn't yield
anything then look more particularly at the failure. What happens when
you run nvauth from the command line? Same thing?
The user failure is one of security. Are you running NetView security? Is
so, then try turning it off to verify that. You can edit
/usr/OV/security/conf/sec.conf and
change to SECURITY-LEVEL_FLAG=OFF

Subject: [nv-l] Problem with Solaris 2.8 and Netview 5.1.3
We are running an old version of Netview because it was the last version
that supports a complimentary root cause product from Smarts called IPFM.
We have tarred up the files, and put them down on a new Solaris 2.8 box
(our
old server is running Solaris 2.6). After going through this exercise,
everything runs fine as root. Everything except the map will run fine as
a
user other than root. You get a typical Netview gray background x-window,
like it is trying to bring up the map, and then the x-window just goes
away.
We also get the following error in the nv6000.log:
ld.so.1: nvauth: fatal: libdirent.so: open failed: No such file or
directory
When we run as root, we get the following log error, but everything seems
to
run fine:
d.so.1: /usr/OV/bin/backup: fatal: ../../lib/libems.so: open failed: No
such file or directory
