Yes, look in the NetView for UNIX Administrator's
Reference under NETVIEWD for the details on starting Read-only sessions
NETVIEWD sessions. The function isn't available under the
Windows version.
Personally, I wouldn't want to do
that. Read-only maps do not automatically display information such as
changes to and from the MANAGED state or the addition of new nodes to the map. The
RO map user must refresh his map to get these changes. The native console
user of the RO map also is unable to do any maintenance of the map or manage/unmanage
nodes. The web console user of the RO map is unable to manage/unmanage
nodes.
The truth of the matter is that you can't
have your web console users enjoy uninterrupted connections and see the
addition of new nodes and the other changes which take place automatically only
on RW maps. Web console administrators also don't have full
function.

Subject: [nv-l] netviewd
Is there a way to force netviewd to always open the map
as read-only.
Reason:
Whenever I need to go into the NV box and run the GUI, it automatically
kills the netviewd (as it was designed to). The problem is that this
kills all web consoles when I start the netview gui using netview -dconsole
How
can I make it look seemless to the web console users so that they never lose
connection to the web console?
