netviewd is a specialized copy of ovw, the visible map. Only one Read-Write instance of the map can be opened at one time. So if that R/W instance is already open, any subsequent maps that are opened, either by ovw or netviewd, will be forced Read-Only.
You can force the first map instance opened to be R/O so the R/W instance is left unused for a following map open to use. Since there is little reason for netviewd to have the R/W instance, some customers force netviewd to always take a R/O instance by adding -ro to the startup parameter list in netviewd.lrf.
So to answer you question specifically, netviewd is starting with a R/O instance of the map because either a R/W instance is already open, or you have told it to open R/O via the startup parameters.

[NV-L] NetViewd Question |

All,
I'm troubleshooting an issue with netviewd and wanted some clarification on what would make it choose the Read-Only map versus the Read-Write map.
