Not enough information. How did you set your default map for the root user to be WANmap? Is there a map called 'default' anywhere? Have you run the permissions function (ovwperms) to all set ownership of the maps? What does /usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw contain for the name of the default map?
By default, the non-root user would get the map called default, and if it does not exist, it will create one owned by that users.

Cordially,

When we log on as root and start "netview", it opens our Default map named
"WANmap" just fine, yet when we use a standard user account and try and
execute "netview", it begins loading Netview and when it needs to open the
map, it crashes out and we get an error in the nv6000.log file that says:

ovw:Cannot open map

We found that if the user executes "netview -map WANmap" it opens fine.  Why
doesn't it open the map when executing "netview"?  Is there a file that
requires the map to be named "default"?  Where is this file?  We have had a
ticket open with IBM now for over 2 weeks and they haven't been able to help
us find the problem here, any help would be great.
