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.
